Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta has no good answer for cushy Jeffrey Epstein plea deal
The defenses offered by US Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta at a press conference Wednesday to address the deal his office gave in 2008 to money manager Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls. Despite the number and seriousness of the allegations, Epstein ended up serving just 13 months in county jail, thanks to a non-prosecution agreement signed with the office of the US Attorney for Miami, Acosta’s job at the time. Criticism of that deal has been mounting since Julie K. Brown reported on it in the Miami Herald last year, and has reached a fever pitch since Epstein was arrested on new sex trafficking charges in New York this week.
