, claiming he intervened to ensure a harsher sentence for Epstein and pointing fingers at other officials for being too lenient.
Since Epstein was arrested on charges of trafficking dozens of underage girls for sex, Acosta has come under fire for offering Epstein a cozy deal to skirt federal prosecution in 2007, when Acosta was the U.S. attorney in Miami and Epstein was staring down the prospect of a lengthy FBI sex crimes indictment that could have sent him away for life. Epstein wound up serving only 13 months in a cushy Palm Beach jail, and the deal was kept secret from Epstein’s alleged victims.
He deflected blame once again when addressing why Epstein’s alleged victims were not notified of the plea deal. REPORTER: A federal judge ruled that you broke federal law by not letting victims weigh in on the plea deal you struck with Epstein. Would you do it differently?
Actually, why aren’t talking about Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton? Could it be that RS is participating is a Democrat cover-up?

Watch: Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta speaks on Jeffrey Epstein case as Democrats demand resignationLabor Secretary Alex Acosta — who as a prosecutor cut a deal that spared financier Jeffrey Epstein of federal charges a decade ago — is answering reporters' questions for the first time since new child sex trafficking charges against Epstein were lodged. Puzzling how Democrats direct their attention toward President Trump’s appointment of Sec. Acosta rather than his personal association with Epstein.

Top Democrats Call for Alex Acosta to Resign Over Jeffrey Epstein CaseThe top Democrats on Capitol Hill called for Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to resign over his handling of a case involving a billionaire accused of exploiting underage girls. Top Democrats waffle impotently despite ability to compel Acosta to leave 'exploiting' — the more accurate terms are 'raping' or 'sex trafficking'. Funny how none of them cared until it was relevant in the news.
