It notes that Ruemmler had previously been Barack Obama\u2019s White House counsel (2011\u20132014), and suggests that this connection is the more newsworthy aspect of her notoriety. Yet several major outlets failed to foreground the Obama link in their headlines, with AP and USA Today mentioning it in the lede, while The New York Times and CNN delayed the reference to later paragraphs. The article cites conservative critics who accused CNN and Bloomberg of downplaying or omitting the Obama connection in headlines or social posts.<\/p>\n<p>The text also recounts reportedly leaked material about Ruemmler\u2019s communications with Epstein\u2014emails, drafts, and notes suggesting she helped coordinate a public response to Epstein-related allegations\u2014and references coverage from outlets like the New York Post about Epstein\u2019s interactions with Ruemmler, including birthday messages and comments on allegations. It places these details in the broader context of Epstein\u2019s criminal history and related figures, such as Virginia Giuffre. The overall claim is that important aspects of Ruemmler\u2019s ties to Epstein were underemphasized or treated inconsistently in the media<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2569944,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-02-13T185019.008.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[9006,73805,4188,5315,6522],"class_list":["post-2569943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-epstein","tag-goldman-sachs-2","tag-media","tag-obama","tag-resignation"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-02-13T185019.008.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2569943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2569943"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2569943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2569947,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2569943\/revisions\/2569947"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2569944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2569943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2569943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2569943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
