Kathryn Ruemmler Set to Testify About Her Epstein Ties (7/14/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. So Congress is going to pick back up
• 0:07
  with their conversations with Jeffrey Epstein adjacent people this week
• 0:13
  by talking with Katherine Rumler. And if you recall, she
• 0:17
  was the big shot lawyer from Goldman Sachs that was
• 0:22
  very very friendly with Jeffrey Epstein, friendly enough that Jeffrey
• 0:26
  Epstein was buying her gifts. And of course Miss Rumler
• 0:31
  was involved in Jeffrey Epstein's planning stages, if you will,
• 0:35
  when he was in trouble. Now, she'll deny that, but
• 0:38
  we saw the emails, so she can deny it all
• 0:41
  she wants, but we saw what she was saying to
• 0:44
  him in the emails, We saw his responses, and of
• 0:47
  course we can come to our own conclusions. But as
• 0:51
  far as people that played a key role in Jeffrey
• 0:54
  Epstein's day to day business, Katherine Rumler is not it.
• 0:58
  But she certainly has a story to tell and I'm
• 1:02
  interested to see just how much of it Congress gets
• 1:05
  from her. So today we have an article from the
• 1:08
  Independent and the headline Congress to grill Goldman Sachs executive
• 1:12
  over newly revealed Epstein ties. This article was authored by
• 1:18
  Sayid as Horror. Goldman Sachs Senior counsel Catherine Rumler is
• 1:23
  scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday as
• 1:26
  lawmakers examine her pass relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, renewing scrutiny
• 1:32
  of the Wall Street firm's decision to retain her after
• 1:35
  documents released by the Justice Department detailed previously undisclosed contacts
• 1:40
  with the convicted sex offender. Well, they don't care. I
• 1:44
  don't know how many times I have to tell you
• 1:45
  about the financial sector and the role they played, But
• 1:48
  it was a key role. And if you think for
• 1:51
  a second the financial sector it cares that Jeffrey Epstein
• 1:54
  was as sick, degenerate, you are sorely mistaken. The only
• 1:58
  thing they care about is that they were out vod
• 2:01
  as being his buddy, as helping him out, as enabling him.
• 2:05
  That's what they're mad about. Rumler stepped down as Goldman
• 2:10
  Sachs Chief Legal Officer and general counsel at the end
• 2:12
  of June after the documents became public. CEO David Solomon
• 2:17
  said at the time that she would remain with the
• 2:19
  bank and in an advisory role as senior counsel until
• 2:23
  his successor is appointed, a decision that has drawn criticism
• 2:27
  from some members of Congress. Yeah, just cut the cord.
• 2:31
  You mean to tell me there's nobody else that could
• 2:33
  take over and do her job. She's the only lawyer
• 2:36
  that can do what she's doing. I have a hard
• 2:38
  time believing that, breaking news. None of us, for the
• 2:42
  most part, are indispensable. You lose your job today, there's
• 2:48
  somebody else taking that job tomorrow, and the company's moving
• 2:51
  on and never thinking about you ever again. So you
• 2:54
  want me to believe that miss Rumler is some kind
• 2:56
  of special attorney and can only do what she does.
• 3:01
  I don't buy that for a minute. It's more likely
• 3:04
  that mister Solomon and the jerk offs at Goldman Sachs
• 3:08
  they just don't care, or they believe that Epstein was
• 3:12
  just another tainted member of their disgusting club. Rumler is
• 3:19
  expected to appear before the House Committee on Oversight and
• 3:22
  Governmental Reform, which is investigating Epstein, his associate Glenn Maxwell,
• 3:27
  and the federal government's handling of the cases. The committee
• 3:31
  has issued subpoenas an interview request to several people with
• 3:34
  ties to Epstein as part of the inquiry, and we're
• 3:38
  no closer to the truth. By the way, what exactly
• 3:41
  has that committee accomplished? What exactly have they done besides
• 3:46
  ron cover for the administration, because they've done that very well.
• 3:51
  But besides that, have they gotten us any closer to justice?
• 3:58
  Have they gotten us to a place where we can
• 4:00
  look and say, all, right, here we are. Congress has
• 4:04
  done their jobs, They've made their referrals, They've looked at
• 4:07
  every single angle they could possibly look at. But is
• 4:10
  that what they did? Of course they didn't. The whole
• 4:14
  entire thing has been a gigantic sham from the word go.
• 4:18
  Congress must use Miss Ruhmler's testimony to pull back the
• 4:21
  curtain on how Jeffrey Epstein built and maintained wealth, power,
• 4:25
  and influence while operating one of the most notorious sex
• 4:28
  trafficking operations in modern history. Representative Raja Krishna Morthi, an
• 4:34
  Illinois Democrat on the committee, said in a statement, you
• 4:37
  know not for nothing, But mister Krishno Morthy doesn't know
• 4:41
  shit about the case, doesn't know the big players, doesn't
• 4:44
  know who was involved in what He's there for a
• 4:47
  gotcha moment. And I hate to say it, but the
• 4:50
  vast majority of people that are involved in this, that's
• 4:54
  what they're here for. They're a gotcha moment. How can
• 4:57
  I use this to springboard my career? How can I
• 4:59
  use this to go after my enemies. It's not about
• 5:03
  the survivors. It's not about the fact that you and
• 5:05
  I got screwed completely by the federal government as well.
• 5:08
  It's about how can I harness this politically to make
• 5:11
  it a weapon. And when everybody's doing that, the people
• 5:14
  that are responsible, they're laughing all the way back to
• 5:16
  the bank. Chrish no Morti also said documents released as
• 5:21
  part of the soul called Epstein Files suggests Rumler's relationship
• 5:25
  with Epstein was more extensive than previously understood. Well, we
• 5:29
  knew they were really close, and I think the emails,
• 5:33
  like with other cases as far as Epstein goes, just
• 5:37
  gives us the confirmation that we needed. Okay, yeah, this
• 5:40
  documents that they were super close, that they were, you know,
• 5:44
  in contact all the time, and it was a little
• 5:46
  bit more than getting a little bit of basic legal
• 5:49
  advice every now and then. Right, So, yeah, Catherine Rumler
• 5:54
  should explain the relationship. What mister Chrishna Morty saying here
• 5:59
  that she's going to be able to blow the doors
• 6:01
  off of it. Basically, I have my doubts. Justice Department
• 6:06
  records show Roumler exchanged numerous communications with Epstein between twenty
• 6:10
  fourteen and twenty nineteen, years after he pleaded guilty in
• 6:14
  Florida in two thousand and eight to a state charge
• 6:17
  of soliciting prostitution from a minor. A minor can't be
• 6:21
  a prostitute. Just to reiterate, what he did was abuse
• 6:25
  a child. That's what he did. The records also indicate
• 6:30
  that she accepted gifts from Epstein and advised them on
• 6:33
  how to respond to media inquiries about his criminal cases. Ah,
• 6:37
  we're just friends, you know. That's what I do to
• 6:39
  my friends. I help them out with their child molestation cases.
• 6:43
  I mean, what are friends for? Right? Imagine imagine being
• 6:47
  a lawyer, even and one of your friends calls you,
• 6:49
  not a client, not some rando, right, trying to hire
• 6:51
  you because I understand that everybody needs legal representation. But
• 6:56
  imagine your buddy calls you and you're a lawyer, and
• 6:59
  he's like, yo, I need some off The book's advice
• 7:01
  about these girls that I was diddling. How quick are
• 7:05
  you hanging up that phone? I mean the second he
• 7:08
  gets the word out of his mouth, I'm hanging up
• 7:11
  the phone. And I'm probably gonna slap him if i
• 7:14
  ever see him again. Call me with that bullshit. But
• 7:19
  miss Rumler, Ah, come on, let me get another bag,
• 7:22
  Let me get some more dough. What can you give me, Jeffy.
• 7:26
  The documents further showed that Epstein called Rumler's cell phone
• 7:29
  on July sixth, twenty nineteen, the day he was arrested
• 7:33
  on federal sex trafficking charges, according to law enforcement notes
• 7:37
  cited in the records. Rumler's spokesperson has previously said she
• 7:42
  had nothing improper and had no knowledge of any ongoing
• 7:46
  criminal activity by Epstein while interacting with him as a
• 7:49
  practicing criminal defense attorney. The spokesperson also said the July
• 7:54
  twenty nineteen phone call was brief and that Rumler took
• 7:57
  no action afterward. No, she didn't call it anybody. She
• 8:00
  didn't try and lean on anybody or reach out to
• 8:03
  her buddies that worked injustice, right, right, man? Of course
• 8:07
  she did. Yo. They really think you're dumb. They think
• 8:11
  you're stupid as fuck. Goldman. Sachs declined to comment ahead
• 8:16
  of the hearing. Rumler did not respond to a request
• 8:19
  for comment. In a June letter to Solomon, krishnal Morthy
• 8:24
  and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts criticized Goldman's decision to
• 8:29
  keep Brumler at the firm, arguing that it raised questions
• 8:32
  about the bank's due diligence and whether they view to
• 8:35
  her relationship with Epstein as appropriate. Again, they don't care.
• 8:40
  I wish people would pay more attention. Anybody who thinks
• 8:43
  that these folks care about you, You're crazy. And when
• 8:47
  I say these folks, I mean all of them, ro Conna,
• 8:51
  mister krishnal Morthy, Elizabeth Warren, James Comer. None of these
• 8:57
  people care, none of them. Representative Rocana of California, a
• 9:03
  co sponsor of the Epstein File Transparency Act, said that
• 9:06
  he plans to question Rumler about what she knew regarding
• 9:09
  people connected to Epstein's crimes. Well, that's going to go somewhere, huh.
• 9:13
  I'm sure she's going to be jumping through hoops to
• 9:15
  answer those questions. Congressman Epstein, a financier whose circle included
• 9:21
  prominent figures in politics, business, Finance, and Academia died in
• 9:27
  a New York jail cell in twenty nineteen while awaiting
• 9:30
  trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled
• 9:34
  a suicide. As part of the investigation, the House Oversight
• 9:38
  Committee has also interviewed former President Bill Clinton, Commerce Secretary
• 9:43
  Howard Lutnik, and Microsoft co founder Bill Gates, all people
• 9:48
  that should have been talked to one hundred percent. The
• 9:52
  problem is everybody has the same story, right, everyone's using
• 9:56
  the same game plan. Well, I had no idea he
• 9:59
  was doctor Jeko O, mister Hyde. I never saw anything.
• 10:02
  I had no idea that a guy that was getting
• 10:05
  massages three times a day from young looking girls had
• 10:08
  any kind of odd proclivities. How dare you even assert that?
• 10:14
  I mean, that's the ridiculous place we're at, and those
• 10:17
  are the ridiculous excuses that all these people have given us.
• 10:21
  So I'm just wondering how long are we going to
• 10:25
  accept that. All the information that goes with this episode
