How Jeffrey Epstein helped cover up White House scandal in Colombia
In 2012, U.S. Secret Service and White House employees became embroiled in a scandal involving the purchase of prostitutes during Barack Obama’s visit to Colombia. White House advisor Katherine Rummell consulted Jeffrey Epstein on how to deceive the press, with Epstein assisting in editing official statements to minimize political damage.
Their correspondence reveals that Rummell shared confidential information about the investigation and referred to Epstein as “Uncle Jeffrey.” Rummell has since resigned as chief legal counsel at Goldman Sachs, claiming she broke no laws and regretting only her association with Epstein.
This case highlights attempts by officials to conceal scandals involving their staff and illustrates the close ties some high-ranking figures had with controversial individuals. Rummell’s resignation and ongoing inquiries may lead to further revelations.
