The Epstein case has received new scrutiny following a Miami Herald investigation that revived questions about the legal slap on the wrist he received from then-Southern Florida U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta. A federal judge in Miami ruled that Acosta — who is now Trump’s Secretary of Labor — violated a law protecting victims’ rights by keeping Epstein’s plea deal under wraps until it was official. The Department of Justice conducted a probe and concluded last month that Epstein’s plea deal should not be revoked.
