"Before Brad Karp resigned as chairman of Paul Weiss, the elite Wall Street law firm said he interacted with Jeffrey Epstein to "negotiate a series of fee disputes" on behalf of Leon Black, the billionaire former Apollo Global Management CEO. Recently released records from the Justice Department show the two men also discussed how to handle a woman whoallegedly demanded Black pay her $100 million."
""I have come to the conclusion that we will need to bring in law enforcement sooner rather than later," Epstein told Karp in a typo-strewn email. "Needs tobe a close sensitive relation Your call on fbi or nypd." Karp stepped down as the chair of Paul Weiss on Wednesday after the Epstein files revealed he advised the convicted sex offender on his legal battles with women and asked for help getting his son a role in a Woody Allen movie."
"The latest emails, some of which were first reported by Law.com, show Karp agreeing with Epstein's recommendation to have the investigation firm Nardello & Co. surveil the woman - referred to as "GG" - for "a full week" in 2015. A spokesperson for Nardello confirmed the firm worked on the case for Black's legal counsel, but denied working with Epstein, who Black paid for financial advice."
Brad Karp communicated with Jeffrey Epstein while representing Leon Black, negotiating fee disputes and coordinating responses to a woman who allegedly demanded $100 million. Justice Department records show exchanges about secret recordings, professional surveillance, and efforts to have the woman arrested for what Epstein described as an extortion attempt. Epstein urged bringing in law enforcement and Karp agreed to hire Nardello & Co. to surveil the woman for a week in 2015; Nardello confirmed work for Black's counsel but denied contact with Epstein. Karp resigned as Paul Weiss chair and left a college board after the files surfaced.
