Miami Herald: How a future Trump Cabinet member gave a serial sex abuser the deal of a lifetime
Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein was accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls. Prosecutors, including future Trump labor secretary Alexander Acosta, cut Epstein an extraordinary plea deal.
In a year-long investigation, the Miami Herald tracked a controversial case that was overseen by Donald Trump’s Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta. The report alleges Acosta mishandled the prosecution of the case that involved 80 victims of sexual abuse (including many children). Some women say he broke the law in doing so.
