The chairman of a major law firm that sparked backlash by caving to President Donald Trump to save itself from his retribution campaign gushed to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein about how “amazing” he was.
Brad Karp, the 66-year-old head of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, came under fire last year for being the first Big Law firm executive to make a deal with Trump after the president signed a series of executive orders targeting law firms that had represented his perceived enemies.
While other firms fought Trump’s orders and won big in court, Paul Weiss agreed to provide $40 million in free legal services to causes championed by Trump, release a statement about neutrality in hiring, and avoid any policies promoting diversity and inclusivity.
