Summary

This document appears to be a page from a media report or article included in House Oversight materials (Bates stamp 021746). While the caption highlights Alex Acosta's role in the Jeffrey Epstein plea deal, the body text details a parallel or related legal case involving a defendant named McDaniel who preyed on minors. In that case, Judge Zloch criticized prosecutor Villafaña for withholding the defendant's predatory history, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Lourie attempted to have the judge's comments struck from the record.
