   WASHINGTON — Ex-Obama counsel Kathryn Ruemmler got chummy with Jeffrey   
   Epstein after leaving the White House and later received lavish gifts   
   from the sex offender — including a $9,400 Hermes handbag and a spa trip   
   at the Four Seasons in DC, according to records released by the Justice   
   Department Friday.   
      
   Ruemmler, who now serves as general counsel at Goldman Sachs, enjoyed   
   the “full half day” spa appointment at the Georgetown resort in August   
   2016, writing to an associate that, “she won her case and needs some   
   pampering,” the Washington Free Beacon first reported.   
      
   “Thank you! I am going to go on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. — massage then   
   facial,” she responded the same day for the works, which can run up to   
   $1,000, to which the associate replied, “Great!!!”   
      
   The following month, Epstein also told his executive assistant Lesley   
   Groff to “confirm receipt with Kathy” for the pricey, French bag in a   
   separate series of emails.   
      
   “OH MY GOD!!!!!” Ruemmler He is in so much trouble!!!! I am dying. It is   
   so beautiful,” Ruemmler erupted in reply.   
      
   The handbag was preceded by a bouquets of flowers delivered to her   
   office in August 2016 and a Hermes-branded Apple Watch as a Thanksgiving   
   gift in November 2018, which has a retail price of $1,300, causing the   
   white collar attorney to gush “so sweet of Jeffrey” both times.

   Ruemmler received a Hermes-branded Apple Watch as a Thanksgiving gift in   
   November 2018, which has a retail price of $1,300, causing the white   
   collar attorney to gush. Department of Justice   
   “Of course, I love the Hermes one!” she responded. “If truly okay with   
   him to do the Hermes, I would love the 40 mm, stainless Hermes with bleu   
   indigo swift leather double tour. I’ll wear that one everyday, whereas   
   the sportier ones I would likely only wear on weekends or when   
   exercising, etc.”   
      
   There were also other exchanges in their correspondence between 2014 and   
   2019 showing that Epstein’s housekeeper planned to give a ring to   
   Ruemmler as well as a bottle of wine and a card.
