His death came less than three weeks after he was found unresponsive in his cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan, with marks on his neck that appeared to be self-inflicted, sources told ABC News.Epstein was arrested on July 6 for alleged sex trafficking of minor girls at his Upper East Side mansion and his home in Palm Beach, Florida. Some of the charges date back to the early 2000s.
The victims in that case were not made aware of the negotiations for nearly a year after the agreement was signed, according to their attorney.

Acosta was serving as President Trump's Labor Secretary amid the controversy over his role in the deal. He later resigned from that position.
