According to documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal, officials in President Barack Obama’s administration had multiple meetings with Jeffrey Epstein after he was convicted of soliciting prostitution with a minor.
Epstein was convicted in 2006 and later accused in 2019 of running a massive human trafficking operation of underage girls before he committed suicide.
Despite his history, high-profile contacts including Larry Summers, the former undersecretary of the Treasury, William Burns, CIA director and the former deputy secretary of state, and Kathryn Ruemmler, a lawyer at Goldman Sachs and White House counsel from 2011 to 2014, continued to meet with him after his conviction, according to Epstein’s calendar obtained by the WSJ.
