The chairman of a powerful Wall Street law firm who drew outrage by caving to President Donald Trump’s revenge campaign has finally quit after his fawning emails to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were revealed.
Brad Karp, the 66-year-old head of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, had gushed that the disgraced financier was “amazing,” and asked Epstein for help getting his son a job with a Woody Allen production, according to documents included in the latest tranche of materials released by the Department of Justice.
Several days after the messages became public, he abruptly resigned as chairman of Paul, Weiss on Wednesday, according to a statement released by the firm.
