Senate Dems demanding full results from DOJ re: Labor Secretary Acosta & his Epstein deal
WASHINGTON Senate Democrats are demanding the Department of Justice disclose the full results of an investigation into whether U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta is guilty of professional misconduct in his handling of a sex crime prosecution against billionaire Jeffrey Epstein over a decade ago.
In a letter obtained by NBC News, Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Tim Kaine, D-Va., are asking the DOJ to make public all findings from its probe into Acostas handling, as a former U.S. attorney, of a plea agreement in the Epstein case. The agreement allowed the wealthy financier and philanthropist to plead guilty to lesser charges in state court rather than face federal sex trafficking charges involving more than three dozen underage girls.
Acosta was the U.S. attorney for South Florida in 2007, when federal prosecutors struck a deal that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to two felony charges in state court and ruling out federal charges.
