Kathryn (Kathy) Ruemmler's connection to Jeffrey Epstein was extensive and personal, spanning from around 2014 to 2019 (even after his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution). This came to light primarily through emails, texts, and other documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice in late January and early February 2026 as part of ongoing Epstein file disclosures.Key details from the released materials and reporting:Affectionate and familial language: Ruemmler referred to Epstein as "Uncle Jeffrey" in multiple emails (e.g., thanking him for gifts in 2018 and 2019: "So lovely and thoughtful!
Thank you to Uncle Jeffrey!!!" and "Am totally tricked out by Uncle Jeffrey today! Jeffrey boots, handbag, and watch!"). In a 2015 exchange, she described him as someone she "adored" and "like having another older brother!”
She signed some messages with "xoxo" or "xo."
Gifts and personal favors: Epstein provided her with expensive items, including luxury handbags (e.g., Hermès at ~$9,400, Fendi), a fur-trimmed coat, boots, a watch, and even a first-class ticket to Europe. Epstein's calendar noted personal arrangements like booking a "Glam Squad" (hair/makeup) for her at her NY apartment in 2018 and spa days. Ruemmler expressed gratitude for these, though her spokesperson later said she "didn’t ask for anything and didn’t want anything."
Personal and intimate sharing: Exchanges included Ruemmler discussing her personal life (e.g., forwarding an email about an alleged affair she had with one of Epstein's associates shortly after receiving it). Epstein made raunchy or inappropriate jokes in replies (e.g., a 2015 birthday response referencing naming his penis). She sought his career advice, including joking about "trading one of your Russians" for better compensation in a potential job move (e.g., to Facebook in 2018-2019).
