has resigned following reports about extensive email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>Kathryn Ruemmler\u2019s resignation follows revelations that she exchanged thousands of messages with Epstein, including correspondence sent years after his 2008 conviction on sex crimes charges.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Post\u00a0reported\u00a0that some of Ruemmler\u2019s emails included friendly and at times flirtatious language.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2015 birthday message, she wrote, \u201cI hope you enjoy the day with your one true love :-).\u201d She signed other messages with \u201cxoxo.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>In one exchange, Epstein replied with a vulgar joke, writing, \u201cthey say that men usually gvie [sic] a name to their penis, as [it] would be inappropriate to make love to a total stranger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruemmler responded that it\u2019s \u201c[h]ard to believe that there is still an open question about whether men are [the] inferior gender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tone of the messages has drawn criticism, given Epstein\u2019s criminal record and the allegations against him at the time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>Reports indicate Ruemmler may have offered strategic advice as Epstein faced renewed scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>As ABC News prepared a 2015 report involving accuser Virginia Giuffre, Ruemmler allegedly described the allegations as \u201cfantastical\u201d and \u201cnot [credible]\u201d in emails to Epstein.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\"

tied to the resurfacing of Epstein-related correspondence.<\/p>\n<p>The fallout from the Epstein scandal continues to affect figures in politics and finance.<\/p>\n<p>France\u2019s former Culture Minister, Jack Lang, has resigned from his position as head of a Paris cultural center due to alleged past financial ties to the infamous late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The allegations against Lang prompted a tax investigation into his connections, ultimately leading to his resignation.<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing, Lang is the most prominent figure in France to be affected by the latest batch of Epstein files released on January 30, 2026, by the Justice Department. He is best known for serving as culture minister during the presidency of Socialist Fran\u00e7ois Mitterrand in the 1980s and 1990s. Now 86 years old, Lang was scheduled to appear before the French Foreign Ministry, which oversees the Arab World Institute, but he chose to resign instead.<\/p>\n<p>Lang\u2019s attorney, Laurent Merlet, spoke with RTL radio on Sunday, saying that he was \u201cvery sad and deeply hurt to be leaving a position he loves.\u201d He added, \u201cHe put the interests of the Arab World Institute first,\u201d saying his client has denied the allegations against him and said they were \u201cinaccurate.\u201d The Foreign Ministry confirmed Lang\u2019s resignation earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0a report from ABC News, the financial prosecutor\u2019s office has opened an investigation into Lang and his daughter, Caroline, regarding allegations of \u201caggravated tax fraud and money laundering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Getty Images This article may contain commentary which reflects the author&#8217;s opinion.
