Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
[I
had
a
professional
association
with
Jeffrey
Epstein
when]
it
was
my
job
to
engage
with
people
and
companies
that
had
serious
legal
and
public
relations
problems.
Many
were
under
criminal
investigation,
and
many
had
been
convicted
of
crimes. I
did
not
advocate
on
his
behalf
to
any
third
party—not
to
a
court,
not
to
the
press,
not
to
the
government.
[He
referred
clients
to
me
and]
also
informally
reached
out
to
me
for
advice
from
time
to
time
just
as
he
did
with
numerous
other
prominent
lawyers
throughout
the
country.
As
I
have
said,
I
regret
ever
knowing
him,
and
I
have
enormous
sympathy
for
the
victims
of
Epstein’s
crimes.
— Kathryn
Ruemmler,
chief
legal
officer
of
Goldman
Sachs,
in
comments
given
to
the
Wall
Street
Journal,
concerning
her
association
with
sex
offender
Jeffrey
Epstein.
John
Rogers,
the
powerful
executive
at
Goldman,
was
reportedly
crafting
a
“contingency
plan”
for
Ruemmler’s
exit
given
her
Epstein
connections,
but
in
a
statement,
he
told
the
Journal,
“That
is
completely
untrue.”
