<p>2 月 13 日（路透社）- 高盛（Goldman Sachs，GS.N）首席執行官大衞·所羅門（David Solomon）表示，他不情願地接受了首席法律官凱瑟琳·魯默勒（Kathy Ruemmler）的辭職，他在週五接受 CNBC 採訪時強調，他尊重她離開的決定。</p>
<p>“我不情願地接受了她的辭職，但我尊重她的決定，” 他在接受 CNBC 採訪時説道。</p>
<p>美國司法部最近發佈的文件顯示，魯默勒曾接受已故性犯罪者傑弗裏·愛潑斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的禮物，並向他提供關於如何應對媒體對其犯罪行為的詢問的建議。魯默勒的離職是華爾街公司高管中最引人注目的辭職，恰逢最新的愛潑斯坦文件發佈。</p>
<p>所羅門告訴 CNBC，魯默勒在週四下午給他打電話，告訴他她之前工作的媒體報道 “已經達到了一個噪音和干擾的程度，她認為這在干擾公司。”</p>
<p>“這讓她處於一個很難履行工作和責任的位置，她認為是時候離開了，” 所羅門説。</p>
<p>文件顯示，魯默勒在 2014 年至 2019 年期間與愛潑斯坦有大量溝通，即使在這位聲名狼藉的金融家在 2008 年因為為未成年人提供賣淫而認罪後。</p>
<p>在 2020 年加入高盛之前，魯默勒曾擔任 Latham &amp; Watkins LLP 的全球白領犯罪辯護和調查業務主席。</p>
<p>魯默勒在奧巴馬政府期間還擔任白宮顧問，郵件中稱愛潑斯坦為 “傑弗裏叔叔”，並收到了包括葡萄酒和手袋在內的禮物，文件顯示。</p>
<p>根據兩份引用執法官員筆記的文件，愛潑斯坦在 2019 年 7 月 6 日被捕時也撥打了魯默勒的手機，此外他那晚還撥打了其他電話。</p>
<p>魯默勒未能被聯繫以發表評論。</p>
<p>高盛在美國司法部發布多份文件期間支持了這位律師，所羅門在週四的聲明中表示，她是其領域中最傑出的專業人士之一。</p>
<p>週五，他告訴 CNBC，高盛的管理團隊在過去六年中與魯默勒密切合作。</p>
<p>“我們瞭解她作為一名專業人士，也瞭解她作為一個人。我認為在某些對話中，這一點常常被忽視，” 所羅門在 CNBC 上説。“我對事情發展到這種地步感到失望。”</p>

<p>Feb 13 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs (GS.N) CEO David Solomon said he had reluctantly accepted Chief Legal Officer Kathy Ruemmler’s resignation, he told CNBC on Friday and stressed that he respected her decision to leave.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>2 月 13 日（路透社）- 高盛（Goldman Sachs，GS.N）首席執行官大衞·所羅門（David Solomon）表示，他不情願地接受了首席法律官凱瑟琳·魯默勒（Kathy Ruemmler）的辭職，他在週五接受 CNBC 採訪時強調，他尊重她離開的決定。</p>
</div><p>“I reluctantly accepted her resignation, but I respect her decision,” he told CNBC in an interview.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“我不情願地接受了她的辭職，但我尊重她的決定，” 他在接受 CNBC 採訪時説道。</p>
</div><p>Recent documents released by the U.S. Justice Department showed Ruemmler accepted gifts from late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and advised him on how to address media inquiries regarding his crimes. The departure of Ruemmler, who was among the top executive officers of the Wall Street firm, is the most high-profile banking exit after the release of the latest Epstein documents.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>美國司法部最近發佈的文件顯示，魯默勒曾接受已故性犯罪者傑弗裏·愛潑斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的禮物，並向他提供關於如何應對媒體對其犯罪行為的詢問的建議。魯默勒的離職是華爾街公司高管中最引人注目的辭職，恰逢最新的愛潑斯坦文件發佈。</p>
</div><p>Solomon told CNBC Ruemmler called him on Thursday afternoon and told him that the press coverage of the work that she had done previously had “just gotten to a level of noise and distraction that she thought was distracting the firm.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>所羅門告訴 CNBC，魯默勒在週四下午給他打電話，告訴他她之前工作的媒體報道 “已經達到了一個噪音和干擾的程度，她認為這在干擾公司。”</p>
</div><p>“It was putting her in a position where it was hard for her to execute on her job and her responsibilities, and she just thought it was time to step away,” Solomon said.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“這讓她處於一個很難履行工作和責任的位置，她認為是時候離開了，” 所羅門説。</p>
</div><p>Ruemmler had a large number of communications with Epstein from 2014 to 2019, even after the disgraced financier’s 2008 guilty plea for procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution, the documents showed.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>文件顯示，魯默勒在 2014 年至 2019 年期間與愛潑斯坦有大量溝通，即使在這位聲名狼藉的金融家在 2008 年因為為未成年人提供賣淫而認罪後。</p>
</div><p>Before joining Goldman Sachs in 2020, Ruemmler was global chair of the white collar defense and investigations practice at Latham &amp; Watkins LLP.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>在 2020 年加入高盛之前，魯默勒曾擔任 Latham &amp; Watkins LLP 的全球白領犯罪辯護和調查業務主席。</p>
</div><p>Ruemmler, who was also White House counsel during the Obama administration, referred to Epstein in emails as “Uncle Jeffrey” and received gifts from him including wine and a handbag, the documents show.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>魯默勒在奧巴馬政府期間還擔任白宮顧問，郵件中稱愛潑斯坦為 “傑弗裏叔叔”，並收到了包括葡萄酒和手袋在內的禮物，文件顯示。</p>
</div><p>Epstein also called Ruemmler’s cell phone when he was arrested on July 6, 2019, among other calls he made that night, according to two documents that cited notes from law enforcement officials.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>根據兩份引用執法官員筆記的文件，愛潑斯坦在 2019 年 7 月 6 日被捕時也撥打了魯默勒的手機，此外他那晚還撥打了其他電話。</p>
</div><p>Ruemmler could not be reached for a comment.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>魯默勒未能被聯繫以發表評論。</p>
</div><p>Goldman backed the lawyer during the release of the several documents by the U.S. Justice Department, with Solomon saying on Thursday in a statement she was one of the most accomplished professionals in her field.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>高盛在美國司法部發布多份文件期間支持了這位律師，所羅門在週四的聲明中表示，她是其領域中最傑出的專業人士之一。</p>
</div><p>On Friday, he told CNBC, Goldman’s management team worked very closely with Ruemmler over the last six years.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>週五，他告訴 CNBC，高盛的管理團隊在過去六年中與魯默勒密切合作。</p>
</div><p>“We know her as a professional and we know her as a human being. And I think that’s lost sometimes in some of the dialogue,” Solomon said on CNBC. “I’m disappointed that it got to this.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“我們瞭解她作為一名專業人士，也瞭解她作為一個人。我認為在某些對話中，這一點常常被忽視，” 所羅門在 CNBC 上説。“我對事情發展到這種地步感到失望。”</p>
