No, he appointed a guy who got a pedophile off.
The deal, approved by Acosta while he was serving as Miami’s top
federal prosecutor, allowed Epstein ― who was accused of sexually assaulting dozens of underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion ― to avoid federal prosecution and a possible life sentence. The financier ended up serving only 13 months in prison, a large chunk of which was
spent in an office as part of a work-release program.
Pelosi said Acosta, who has served as Trump’s labor secretary since 2017, “engaged in an unconscionable agreement” with Epstein ― a deal she noted had been kept secret from his victims.
“This was known by [President Trump] when he appointed him to the Cabinet,” Pelosi added.
