🧵 Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Kathryn Ruemmler — the former top Obama White House lawyer, onetime Attorney General candidate, and potential Supreme Court nominee, who is now the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs — was far deeper than previously known, emails show. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image
Ruemmler confided in Epstein when a rival law firm tried to poach her, when looking for an NYC apartment, and when she was being vetted for consideration as US Attorney General. She also turned to him for minor issues, like what it's like to fly Emirates.

businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…Image
We've known for years that Ruemmler met with Epstein in his Manhattan mansion shortly after she left the White House, and while she was a partner at the Big Law firm Latham & Watkins. But not much more than that.

businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
Ruemmler came on my radar again in September.

The Epstein estate produced a copy of his penultimate will.

It names Kathryn Ruemmler as a backup executor.

That was pretty weird. How close were they? Jeffrey Epstein trusted Kathryn Ruemmler to manage his $630 million estate? Image
The final version of Epstein's will, finalized while he was in jail on sex-trafficking charges, had Bill Gates associate Boris Nikolic listed as the backup executor.
businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
In any case, Epstein's longtime personal lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn ended up as the executors.

businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
This all raised the question... did Jeffrey Epstein ever hire Kathryn Ruemmler as a personal lawyer?

Some of Ruemmler's emails released this week are for "privilege."

Weird!

Moreover, Jeffrey Epstein looped Ruemmler into emails with people we already know were his lawyers, like Alan Dershowitz, Marty Weinberg, and Ken Starr.

businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…Image
Latham & Watkins said Epstein was never a client of the firm. businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
There's also a wild part where — before it was announced that Eric Holder was stepping down — Ruemmler was talking with Epstein about whether she should accept the job as US Attorney General in the Obama administration.

And there are cryptic emails between Ruemmler and Jeffrey Epstein appearing to reference Elon Musk and "your boy."

Last night, I stayed up late to watch and write about 12+ hours of depositions from Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn.

Here are some of the interesting things we learned 🧵

businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
Jeffrey Epstein left Indyke $50 million from his estate and Kahn $25 million.

Why such huge numbers? It's way more than other employees stand to get. businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
Both Indyke and Kahn said they aren't getting paid for managing Epstein's $630 million estate.

The money from Epstein's trust is effectively compensation, they say. They've been working on it for 7 years and say they haven't seen a penny.

EXCLUSIVE:

The doctor who did Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy skipped the "homicide" and "suicide" boxes on his death certificate.

She checked "pending."

4 years later, we learned she thought Epstein killed himself.

A transcript in the Epstein files explains what happened. 🧵 Image

To recap:
▶️ NYC medical examiner Kristin Roman performed Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy
▶️ The autopsy was observed by Michael Baden, a prominent forensic pathologist hired by Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, and whose bill was paid for by Jeffrey Epstein's estate

NEW:

Everyone knows the two great funders of Jeffrey Epstein's $630 million fortune were Les Wexner and Leon Black.

Jeffrey Epstein tried to nab another billionaire client: Mort Zuckerman, the real estate and media baron who once owned The Atlantic and New York Daily News. Image
As his billionaire friend Mort Zuckerman's health declined, Jeffrey proposed taking over his financial life.

businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
The deal was never consummated. But the emails between Epstein, Zuckerman, Zuckerman's family and executive assistant, and Terje Rod-Larsen — the Norwegian diplomat and friend of Epstein — shows how Epstein wormed his way into the financial lives of his friends. Image

At 8:16 a.m. on August 10, 2019, an anonymous 4Chan user posted, "don't ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago from hanging, cardiac arrest. Screencap this."

It was 38 minutes before @AaronKatersky tweeted the news of Jeffrey Epstein's death.

How did a 4Chan anon know? Image
4Chan knew about Jeffrey Epstein's death 38 minutes before the rest of the world. The FBI tried to figure out how.

businessinsider.com/epstein-files-…
The FBI subpoenaed 4Chan, which provided the IP addresses used by the anonymous user.

Then it subpoenaed AT&T and T-Mobile for records related to those IP addresses, but it drew a blank. businessinsider.com/epstein-files-…

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein planned to bequeath his $630 fortune to 43 people.

The infamous 1953 Trust, signed 2 days before Epstein's death, had remained secret for years.

Now we know what's in it.

The biggest surprise? Epstein planned on getting married.

🧵 Image
Jeffrey Epstein planned to give Karyna Shuliak $100 million, his private islands and other properties, and a lot of diamonds.

businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
It was a shift from an earlier trust, which would give the properties to Celia Dubin.

NEW: As Steve Bannon filmed 15 hours of interviews with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the two texted about using an obscure legal maneuver.

The maneuver could explain why the footage hasn't seen the light of day.

🔗 In next post 👇👇 Image
Steve Bannon discussed using an obscure legal maneuver that would make him part of Jeffrey Epstein's legal team, potentially putting 15 hours of interviews under attorney-client confidentiality

businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…
While going through the recently released texts between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein, the discussion of a "Kovel" caught my eye.

A Kovel agreement is a way to put the work of non-lawyers under attorney-client confidentiality. businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstei…Image
