Goldman Sachs Group Inc. General Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler said she will testify in Congress about her interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, just weeks after the investment bank announced her plans to leave.
The top Wall Street lawyer, who previously worked in the Obama White House, “welcomes” the chance to speak in front of the House Oversight Committee about her ties to Epstein, a spokesperson said, after an invitation from Republican lawmaker James Comer, the committee’s chair.
