Goldman Sachs senior counsel Kathryn Ruemmler testified before Congress that she would have reported Jeffrey Epstein if she knew of his abuse, as the bank faces renewed scrutiny over its decision to retain her. Ruemmler, who stepped down as chief legal officer in June, acknowledged accepting gifts from Epstein but claimed they did not influence her. The testimony follows earlier lawmaker probes into CEO David Solomon's handling of the matter, keeping reputational risk in focus.
