Ex-White House counsel says Epstein accuser’s testimony ‘lacked inherent credibility’

Kathryn Ruemmler was blasted by family of late Virginia Giuffre after House committee transcripts were released

A former White House counsel and former general counsel of Goldman Sachs, who has faced scrutiny over her past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, told a House committee this month that some of the allegations made by one his most prominent accusers “lacked inherent credibility”, according to newly released transcripts.

Kathryn Ruemmler’s name appeared thousands of times in records related to Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, that were released earlier this year by the US Department of Justice under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
