Begin forwarded message: Subject: Alexander Acosta and Jeffrey Epstein plea deal - NY Daily News Hello, My name is Christopher and I am a reporter at the NY Daily News. I am writing a story about proposed Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, including his time in the Southern District of Florida. I had seen that he was previously criticized for a "sweetheart deal" allowing Jeffrey Epstein to plead guilty to state prostitution charges in exchange for no federal charges being pursued. Correspondence between Acosta and Epstein's attorneys was also seen in a suit against the government by two victims who say their rights under the Crime Victims Rights Act http://abcnews.go.com/US/victims-feds-hid-sweetheart-deal-sex-offender-deep/story?id=368431.44 I was wondering if you have any comment on Acosta's tenure in your office, the characterization of the Epstein plea as a "sweetheart deal" and allegations that Acosta and were involved in a "conspiracy between the Government and Epstein's attorneys to conceal the existence of a broad, non-prosecution agreement."
