LETTER REQUESTING A TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEW: KATHRYN RUEMMLER
DATED MARCH 3, 2026
This official Oversight Committee letter asks Kathryn H. Ruemmler to testify at an in-person transcribed interview in Washington, D.C. It is one of the letters publicly released in the Committee's March 3, 2026 Epstein-investigation witness tranche.
The letter repeats the Committee's declared oversight scope: alleged mismanagement of federal investigations into Epstein and Maxwell; circumstances and subsequent investigations of Epstein's death; operation of trafficking rings and policy responses; alleged efforts by Epstein and Maxwell to cultivate influence; and potential ethics-rule concerns tied to elected officials. The Committee explains that public reporting, DOJ-released records, and documents collected by committee investigators support requesting Ms. Ruemmler's testimony.
In procedural terms, the letter specifies a date and time for appearance and instructs the recipient to coordinate with Majority staff. It cites House Rule X as the basis for committee authority and copies Ranking Member Robert Garcia, preserving bipartisan committee-notice form.
For researchers, the letter is a primary document showing how congressional oversight converted broad transparency demands into targeted witness interviews, with explicit legal authority and a fixed timeline.
