Will Trump official pay a price for the lenient plea deal in horrific Palm Beach millionaire sex

WASHINGTON — Florida Republicans are lying low on the contentious subject of U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who is under federal investigation for allegedly mishandling a sexual abuse and trafficking case while serving as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida in 2008.

None of the sixteen Republicans in the state’s congressional delegation — including its two GOP senators — are joining their Democratic colleagues in openly calling for his resignation.

“We’ll wait for the investigation to be finalized,” U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio told the Florida Phoenix in a brief interview near his Senate office.

U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis of Tarpon Springs went further, telling the Phoenix he does not support Acosta’s resignation at this point. “You gotta give him the benefit of the doubt,” he told the Phoenix.
