Mark Epstein

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform took a voluntary transcribed interview from Kathryn H. Ruemmler on 15 July 2026 in Room 2247, Rayburn House Office Building, from 10:08 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. over three majority and three minority rounds. Sixteen members are listed as present; Chairman James Comer requested the interview and Billy Grant led the majority questioning. Her counsel were from Arnold & Porter and Liu Shur Kravis. She was White House Counsel to President Obama from 2011 to 2014, global chair of Latham & Watkins' White Collar Defense and Investigations Practice from July 2014 to April 2020, and Goldman Sachs' general counsel from March 2021 until she stepped down at the end of June 2026, testifying she is now in an advisory role there. Ruemmler testified that Epstein cold-called Latham & Watkins in July 2014, days before she formally started, pitching a donor-advised fund he said he was building with Bill Gates, and that weeks later he referred the Edmond de Rothschild Bank to her and remained its primary advisor until she left private practice. She testified he was never her client, never retained or paid her, and that she saw no evidence of ongoing criminal conduct while she dealt with him. Twenty-two exhibits were marked, eighteen minority and four majority; seventeen carry EFTA Bates numbers read into the record. Most are her emails with Epstein; exhibit R is the minority's Interim Staff Analysis. They cover an itemised accounting of gifts, her lawyer referrals, a White House tour, a December 2018 draft media statement she edited, emails around the Maxwell defamation litigation, and her Goldman Sachs disclosures. She said repeatedly that she regrets dealing with him.
