President Donald Trump’s first secretary of Labor
will answer questions from House investigators
next month about his involvement in the Jeffrey
Epstein case.
House Oversight Chair James Comer said Monday that
Alex Acosta, who led the Labor Department from 2017
to 2019, has agreed to sit for a transcribed
interview with the panel on Sept. 19.
As U.S. attorney for the Southern District of
Florida, Acosta signed off on a 2008 deal that
allowed Epstein to plead guilty to a single state
charge, ending a long-running FBI investigation
without federal charges. The deal is now widely
seen as being unduly favorable to Epstein, who was
later charged with federal sex trafficking charges
and subsequently died by suicide in Justice
Department custody.
