“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta
had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d
had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with
one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was
above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it
alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that
was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department
had no comment when asked about this.)
