This newspaper article from December 8, 2018, reports that over two dozen U.S. lawmakers are demanding an investigation into Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta for his role as a former federal prosecutor in brokering a lenient 2008 plea deal for multimillionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The call for a probe, spurred by a Miami Herald investigation, highlights how the deal granted Epstein immunity, hid the proceedings from his underage victims, and allowed him to serve only 13 months in jail.
