This document is a clipping of a news article regarding Jeffrey Sloman's defense of the non-prosecution agreement offered to Jeffrey Epstein. Sloman, formerly second-in-command to Alexander Acosta, claims in a Miami Herald opinion piece that the decision was made due to legal impediments and terrified victims, and argues that current criticism of Acosta is politically motivated. The document notes the Justice Department's opening of an investigation into misconduct following the 'Perversion of Justice' series.
