00:00It's Benzinga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street
00:02Brad Karp resigned as chair of Paul Weiss after new disclosures detailed his past communications
00:07with Jeffrey Epstein, according to the Wall Street Journal. Karp is a prominent corporate
00:12lawyer who advised major business leaders, including Apollo Global Management co-founder
00:16Leon Black, and drew criticism last year after negotiating with Trump to resolve an executive
00:21order-targeting law firms. Karp said recent reporting has become a distraction and led
00:26him to step aside after 18 years leading Paul Weiss. The emails describe a years-long social
00:31relationship between Karp and Epstein that included dinners at Epstein's mansion and access for Karp's
00:37family to Woody Allen movie screenings. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
