Careful What You Ask For, Democrats — The Epstein Files Are Talking

How about an Epstein fallout update? Yesterday, the New York Times ran another deplorable story headlined, “Brad Karp Resigns as Paul Weiss Chairman Amid Epstein Fallout.” The DOJ disclosures just nabbed another elite Epstein-snuggler.

Brad Karp, Democrat super-bundler and longtime chairman of Paul Weiss, one of the country’s “top corporate law firms, suddenly resigned on Wednesday evening after a series of embarrassing emails between him and Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier, became public in recent days,” the Times reported.

By “one of the top corporate law firms,” the Times meant that the Paul Weiss firm bills $2.6 billion in annual revenue. That’s a lot of hours.

Karp is often obsequiously described by corporate media as a “champion of social justice causes.” He “rallied lawyers for Kamala Harris” in 2024. And he is a huge Democrat Party fundraiser, or “bundler.” He was in the news last year after Trump targeted the firm in an executive order stripping its federal contracts and security clearances (Karp coughed up $40 million in free legal work to make it go away).

Now Mr. Karp is Paul Weiss’s former chairman. (He’s staying at the firm, though. For now.)

In one particularly telling email with Epstein, Karp, the champion of social justice, begged Epstein to get his son a job with … wait for it … Woody Allen.That’s like asking Harvey Weinstein to recommend a babysitter.

Apparently, social justice championing has a carveout for lavish dinner parties with notorious pedophiles.

Karp’s resignation statement insisted he “regrets” his Epstein interactions. I bet he does. On Tuesday, he claimed his Epstein ties were limited to “two group dinners” and “a small number of social interactions by email.” The very next day, he resigned. Funny how “regret” works.

The dominoes are falling fast and hard. I wonder if the Democrats realize yet that demanding the Epstein files was a boo-boo?
