Alexander Acosta served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida when he approved a controversial 2008 plea deal that allowed Jeffrey Epstein to plead guilty to state charges and serve just 13 months. The deal, later found to have violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act, shielded Epstein and unnamed co-conspirators from federal prosecution. Acosta later served as U.S. Secretary of Labor but resigned in 2019 after renewed scrutiny of the plea agreement.
