Epstein Emails Raise New Questions About Obama Counsel and 9/11 Law

Newly released emails from the Justice Department’s Epstein files are raising questions about former Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and her possible role in discussions surrounding the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. The law allowed 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia, and some victims’ relatives now want Congress to examine whether Epstein worked with Saudi officials and prominent lawyers to delay or undermine the legislation. Ruemmler, who recently left Goldman Sachs, is expected to testify before the House Oversight Committee as investigators dig deeper into Epstein’s network and its potential ties to U.S. policy.
