The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Secretary of Labor Alex Acostas role in negotiating a controversial plea deal with a wealthy New York investor accused of molesting more than 100 underage girls in Palm Beach.
The probe is in response to a request by Sen. Ben Sasse, a a Nebraska Republican and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who raised questions about the case following a series of stories in the Miami Herald. The Herald articles detailed how Acosta, then the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and other DOJ attorneys worked hand-in-hand with defense attorneys to cut a lenient plea deal with multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein in 2008.
The Heralds three-part series, Perversion of Justice, was cited by Assistant Attorney General Stephen E. Boyd in his letter to Sasse. DOJs Office of Professional Responsibility will head the investigation, he said.
OPR has now opened an investigation into allegations that Department attorneys may have committed professional misconduct in the manner in which the Epstein criminal matter was resolved, wrote Boyd in the letter dated Wednesday.

The age of consent in NY is 17. So how is his having sex with a 17 yo criminal?
I am a Trump voter.... Trump led a life of a very rich man for years. He did a lot of things rich guys do when girls/women are after them. He has a way of being Trump, that offends some... too bad for the haters... He has faults and he has good points. His good points out rank all his faults.
He keeps his word. He works fast and I like that. He is as conservative as any President ever. He has filled the role we conservatives would vote for.
They wonder how Christians could vote for Trump... considering what they think of him and his past.
He is not any worse than any of those in congress... they fake it and pretend... he is honest and he is what he is.
I am one of those conservative Christians... it does not matter to me what he was or did...I didn’t vote for a preacher/priest... I voted for a man who I thought could fix our country. . and it matters that he has appointed 2 justices.. many judges.. he is pro life.. there is prayer in his presence and he is not offended... and he loves this country more than he loved his rich and comfortable life before he got into the frey. No other person could stand what he has... and still get up in the morning and stay the course!!!
I like his fight.. he is not a weak man who won’t fight for the country and the people.
And if anyone wants to go further.. David in the Bible, did many wrong and bad things... he took a woman who was married, had a son, had the woman’s husband killed... and he came to his senses and asked to be forgiven. God said David was a man after His own heart...
Trump’s aims and goals are good.. he is a man who is a giver.... it isn’t all about him... it’s about the country going to the pits. If God had to pick a man to undo and save our nation after obama...He picked Trump.
Trump has done a good job. They hate him, but he keeps on... and that trait is one that got him the job... his heart was right and he could take the assault that was sure to come... and did.
AND..... hillary was in on some of those rides also... they are from a different part of humanity...
Is there anybody naive enough to think that neither Obama nor Bill nor Hillary got word to Acosta what kind of “accident” would happen if he went hard after Epstein?
We all know that at least two out of those three are up to their evil, slimy necks in Epstein’s orgy business.
It says he paid for the sex right in the sentence you quote.
Are you aware of a loophole for legal prostitution of 17 year olds in New York that no one else is?
