US lawmakers raise concern over Goldman's move to keep top lawyer as adviser despite Epstein ties

Democratic lawmakers Elizabeth Warren and Raja Krishnamoorthi raised concerns to Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon over reported plans to keep Kathy Ruemmler as an adviser despite her ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The issue centers on governance and reputational risk rather than direct financial performance. The story is likely to pressure sentiment around Goldman Sachs modestly, but it is unlikely to drive broad market action.
