Newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents are triggering a wave of high-profile resignations across business and politics.
Hyatt’s Tom Pritzker stepped down, Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler resigned, and other executives, including Brad Karp and Casey Wasserman are facing fallout over past communications linked to Epstein. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is also under pressure, but has declined to resign.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows over 80% of Americans believe the Epstein files suggest powerful people often receive preferential treatment in the U.S. justice system.
