This document is an email forwarding a Law360 article dated May 2, 2019. The article details Labor Secretary Alex Acosta's testimony before a House Committee, where he defended his previous actions as a U.S. Attorney regarding the lenient non-prosecution agreement granted to Jeffrey Epstein. The article notes that Judge Kenneth Marra recently ruled that Acosta violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act, though Acosta claimed he followed DOJ protocol. The report also covers Acosta's comments on labor regulations, including overtime rules and the minimum wage.
This newspaper page from The Virgin Islands Daily News (March 2, 2019) features a lead article detailing the political fallout of Alex Acosta's involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 plea deal. While many Democrats and some Republicans called for investigations or Acosta's resignation following a judge's ruling that the deal violated victims' rights, Rep. Matt Gaetz defended the prosecutorial discretion used, calling second-guessing 'dangerous.' The page also includes a secondary article about the White House's 2020 campaign strategy focusing on 'socialism,' along with local advertisements.
