House Democrats are asking for documents from federal prosecutors and Florida law enforcement officials as part of a probe into how Jeffrey Epstein received a secret plea deal in 2008 after he was accused of molesting underage girls.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — House Democrats asked for documents from federal prosecutors and Florida law enforcement officials on Friday as part of a probe into how financier Jeffrey Epstein received a secret plea deal more than a decade ago after he was accused of molesting underage girls.
Earlier this year, a federal judge ruled Epstein’s victims should have been consulted under federal law about the deal. Acosta was appointed Labor Secretary by President Donald Trump, but he resigned in July amid renewed scrutiny of the secret plea deal.The House committee also sent a letter to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Richard Swearingen, asking for documents related to its investigation into the deal and Epstein’s work-release arrangement at Palm Beach County’s jail.
