Alleging "an epic miscarriage of justice," Sen. Ben Sasse has written letters to Justice Department officials asking why former hedge-fund manager Jeffrey Epstein received a soft sentence for allegedly trafficking minor girls for sex parties, Axios reported. Epstein pleaded guilty to two felony prostitution charges but received immunity for sex-trafficking charges. The sentencing was agreed to by Alexander Acosta, then a U.S. attorney and now the Labor Department secretary. Sasse cited the Miami Herald's investigation into the topic.
