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.
