The Epstein stain is very hard to get rid of.
Among the many people exposed by the DOJ document releases as being connected to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was former Barack Obama White House Counsel and former Goldman Sachs chief legal officer Kathryn Ruemmler.
We have reported here on TGP about how the evidence of her close relation ship with Epstein led to her resignation from her job at Goldman Sachs.

The unnamed financial institution was Bank Edmond de Rothschild, which Epstein allegedly brought to Ruemmler as a client after telling her the bank had “a Justice Department problem” related to a broader US crackdown on Swiss banks, according to Epstein-related emails released by the Trump administration.”
Epstein also referred additional clients and occasionally sought her legal advice, even though she alleges that Epstein was never her client.
