Document Summary

A February 2019 article from The Virgin Islands Daily News reporting that the White House was 'looking into' Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta's role in Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 plea deal. The article follows a ruling by Judge Kenneth Marra that Acosta, then a U.S. attorney, violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by failing to inform victims of the non-prosecution agreement. Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to confirm President Trump's confidence in Acosta but noted the complexity of the case.
