This legal document outlines the aftermath of a November 2018 Miami Herald report concerning Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement (NPA). It details a February 2019 court ruling that found the government violated victims' rights, leading to the recusal of the U.S. Attorney's Office. The document then describes Epstein's subsequent federal indictment and arrest in New York in July 2019, and the resignation of government official Acosta following a press conference where he defended his role in the original NPA.
