Newly revealed documents show Kathryn Ruemmler, now Goldman Sachs' top lawyer, advised Jeffrey Epstein on personal and professional matters while he was under federal investigation. The communications occurred during Ruemmler's private practice years before joining the bank.

Ruemmler reportedly guided Epstein on managing media scrutiny and potential career opportunities. These revelations surface as Goldman Sachs faces renewed scrutiny over its historical ties to controversial figures and risk management practices.

The bank has not commented on whether it was aware of these communications during Ruemmler's hiring process. Legal experts question if this relationship could impact Goldman's regulatory standing or prompt further investigations into the bank's due diligence procedures.
