Dems Release Epstein Emails - Accidentally Expose What Barack Obama Was Doing...
WASHINGTON, D.C. — May 2, 2026
The House Oversight Committee has released more than 20,000 pages of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, including emails that detail communications between Epstein and Kathryn Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel under former President Barack Obama.
The emails show that Ruemmler and Epstein exchanged friendly messages and discussed politics in the period leading up to the 2016 election. In one exchange from January 23, 2016, Epstein wrote that he had broken off contact with former President Bill Clinton after Clinton had given him conflicting accounts on the same matter. Epstein described Clinton as someone who “swore, with whole-hearted conviction” to one thing and then the opposite weeks later.
Ruemmler responded in the exchange by referring to an unnamed individual as someone who “has no conscience” and describing the situation as “scary.” The documents also indicate that Ruemmler met Epstein while working as a partner at the law firm Latham & Watkins. A spokesperson for Goldman Sachs, where Ruemmler now serves as chief legal officer, stated that her interactions with Epstein were limited to business and involved a common client that originated as an Epstein referral.
The emails also reference Clinton’s long-standing relationship with Epstein. The two first connected in the early 1990s when Epstein donated to Clinton’s presidential campaign. Epstein later contributed $20,000 to Hillary Clinton’s 1999 Senate campaign. White House visitor logs show Epstein visited the White House more than a dozen times during Clinton’s presidency.
After Clinton left office, the two remained in contact. Epstein continued donating to the Clinton Foundation, and flight records indicate Clinton took more than two dozen trips on Epstein’s private plane. Clinton was photographed receiving a shoulder massage from a 22-year-old massage therapist during a 2002 humanitarian trip to Africa aboard the plane. A spokesperson for Clinton has stated that he never traveled to Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, and had not spoken to Epstein in the 20 years before Epstein’s death.
The documents also include an April 5, 2018, email from theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss to Epstein proposing a “men of the world conference” with an invite list that included Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), and director Woody Allen.
The release of the emails has renewed public discussion about Epstein’s connections to prominent figures in politics and business. The House Oversight Committee obtained the documents as part of its ongoing review of Epstein’s activities. Epstein was known to have relationships with a number of high-profile individuals before his 2019 death while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
No new criminal allegations against Ruemmler or Clinton are contained in the newly released emails. Ruemmler’s spokesperson emphasized that her contact with Epstein was professional and limited. Clinton’s spokesperson reiterated that Clinton knew nothing about Epstein’s criminal activities.

The documents provide additional context to the web of relationships surrounding Epstein but do not alter the core facts of his criminal convictions or the circumstances of his death. The release is part of broader congressional scrutiny of Epstein’s network and the handling of related investigations.
Further releases or congressional action related to the documents may occur in the coming weeks. The materials are now part of the public record and are being reviewed by lawmakers from both parties.
