Ruemmler, meanwhile, doubled down on her assertion that she kept things professional, telling the Journal that her association with Epstein was from when "it was my job to engage with people and companies that had serious legal and public relations problems. Many were under criminal investigation, and many had been convicted of crimes."
She also insists that she never represented Epstein or advocated on her behalf, despite Epstein texting an unknown individual with "what Kathy suggests we tell Waco" (later corrected to WaPo, as in the Washington Post).
