Ruemmler, who currently serves as the bank's chief legal officer, announced her resignation earlier this year following the release of U.S. Justice Department documents. Those records revealed she had accepted gifts from Epstein and provided him with media strategy advice long after his initial conviction. While Solomon publicly stated in February that he accepted her departure with reluctance, recent reports suggest he has requested she remain at the firm in a new advisory capacity.

In a letter sent to the CEO, the lawmakers questioned the bank’s internal due diligence processes and suggested that keeping Ruemmler on staff reflects poorly on Solomon’s own professional judgment. They have requested a detailed explanation of her proposed new role, compensation, and the specific motivations behind the decision to keep her at the institution by June 26. Goldman Sachs has declined to comment on the matter, and Ruemmler’s representatives have not responded to requests for clarification regarding her future at the bank.
