Wall Street attorney Brad Karp, who represented Epstein’s business associate, Leon Black, also coordinated surveillance on the woman
Jeffrey Epstein plotted with a high-powered Manhattan lawyer to try arranging the deportation of a woman who was an inconvenience to someone in his social circle, newly released documents reveal.
While their efforts were unsuccessful, emails also reveal that this Epstein associate, Wall Street attorney Brad Karp – who represented the late financier’s business associate, Leon Black – coordinated surveillance on the woman.
This correspondence, made public in the justice department’s recent disclosure of 3m Epstein investigative files, suggests that Karp was trying to use a Manhattan US attorney’s office connection in the disgraced financier’s push to have her charged with a crime.
Emails from 2015 show that Epstein and Karp – who resigned from his top role at white shoe firm Paul Weiss last week as their correspondence went public – discussed whether law enforcement could be used to expel this woman from the US, or jail her. Karp did not respond to multiple requests for comment. A spokesperson for Paul Weiss also did not respond to multiple inquiries.
