Top US lawyer Brad Karp has resigned from Union College's board of trustees as he faces scrutiny from his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Karp has been removed from the list of trustees on his alma mater's website, from which he graduated in 1981.
Union College's board chair Julie Greifer Swidler could not be reached for immediate comment. In a statement to local media, Greifer Swidler said Karp had resigned from the board.
"The Board of Trustees and College leadership look forward to continuing our efforts to prepare our outstanding students to lead with wisdom, empathy and courage, while ensuring that Union thrives for decades to come," she said.
Karp's departure from the board follows his resignation as chairman of the Big Law firm Paul Weiss last week.
Karp is among the names to appear in 3 million documents released by the Justice Department from its investigation into Epstein.
"Recent reporting has created a distraction and has placed a focus on me that is not in the best interests of the firm," Karp said in a statement in Paul Weiss' news release announcing the news.
