A foot soldier in Epstein's financial life for 22 years, Beller could help shed light on Epstein's vast fortune — how he amassed it, and what he did with all his money.

Members of Congress and victim lawyers name him as someone who might have the answers.

Jeffrey Epstein's accountant of 22 years raised alarm bells at JPMorgan. Now Congress wants answers.

Harry Beller is something of a financial Forrest Gump of the Jeffrey Epstein money trail.

He did Ghislaine Maxwell's taxes, he incorporated some of Epstein's companies, he signed checks and withdrew a lot of cash from Epstein's accounts.

And there are cryptic emails between Ruemmler and Jeffrey Epstein appearing to reference Elon Musk and "your boy."

There's also a wild part where — before it was announced that Eric Holder was stepping down — Ruemmler was talking with Epstein about whether she should accept the job as US Attorney General in the Obama administration.

Moreover, Jeffrey Epstein looped Ruemmler into emails with people we already know were his lawyers, like Alan Dershowitz, Marty Weinberg, and Ken Starr.

This all raised the question... did Jeffrey Epstein ever hire Kathryn Ruemmler as a personal lawyer?

Some of Ruemmler's emails released this week are for "privilege."

Ruemmler came on my radar again in September.

The Epstein estate produced a copy of his penultimate will.

It names Kathryn Ruemmler as a backup executor.

That was pretty weird. How close were they? Jeffrey Epstein trusted Kathryn Ruemmler to manage his $630 million estate?

We've known for years that Ruemmler met with Epstein in his Manhattan mansion shortly after she left the White House, and while she was a partner at the Big Law firm Latham & Watkins. But not much more than that.

Ruemmler confided in Epstein when a rival law firm tried to poach her, when looking for an NYC apartment, and when she was being vetted for consideration as US Attorney General. She also turned to him for minor issues, like what it's like to fly Emirates.

Ahead of today's hearing, Mulaney asked Yale Law prof Amar to read his brother's amicus brief — the topic of which was discussed at oral argument.

"John is a serious guy," Amar told me. "He wants to read the briefs."
