than I am about (1) agreeing to an outside (likely biased) investigation of hiring practices and (2) its admission of wrongdoing (which no one seems to be reporting on in any substantial manner).

The White House said that Mr. Karp had acknowledged “wrongdoing” by one of the firm’s former partners, Mark F. Pomerantz. Mr. Pomerantz had tried to build a criminal case against Mr. Trump several years ago while working at the Manhattan district attorney’s office. It was not clear what wrongdoing Mr. Trump was referring to.

Pomerantz denied any wrongdoing, but nothing in the NYT article suggests Karp disagreed with the White House Statement asserting that Karp admitted wrongdoing.
