Alex Acosta, former US attorney who negotiated Epstein's plea deal, appears before House Oversight Committee

Former Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding his role in the 2008 plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein. Committee Chairman James Comer stated Acosta cooperated, providing information to advance their investigation into the handling of the Epstein and Maxwell cases. Democrats on the committee claim Acosta didn't admit to a sweetheart deal or take responsibility. The testimony, under oath and to be released publicly, focuses on Acosta's decisions during the 2007 plea negotiations, including concerns raised by a lead prosecutor about the deal's terms and the extensive meetings with Epstein's legal team.
