A Miami Herald rejected accusations from former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci
that her newspaper “planted” a story linking Labor Secretary Alex Acosta to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Julie Brown, an investigative reporter for the Herald, fired back at Scaramucci Thursday afternoon after the former Trump aide wrote that the Herald tried to “do a number” on Acosta because of his success in the Trump administration.

“1. I'm not in D.C. and have very few D.C. connections 2. "Planted" ? Hmm. I don't even know what that means,” Brown wrote on Twitter.

“3. This was honest to god, shoe leather reporting & digging through dense court documents for a year,” she added. “No one contacted me to do this story. No one. It was totally my idea.”

Mooch's style is more along the lines of soliciting dirt from someone's enemies and holding on to it until the right moment to ruin them.
