Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathy Ruemmler says she will resign this summer after documents released by the US Department of Justice revealed the extent of her ties with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Financial Times reports.

Ruemmler tells the FT that she will exit the Wall Street firm on June 30, saying: “I made the determination that the media attention on me, relating to my prior work as a defense attorney, was becoming a distraction.”
