Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered a state criminal investigation on Tuesday into the plea agreement that allowed Jeffrey Epstein to skirt federal prosecution for soliciting prostitution from underage girls in 2007.
The arrangement, under which Epstein was allowed to serve most of his 13-month state sentence on work release without fear of federal charges, has already cost Alex Acosta his job as U.S. labor secretary. As the U.S. attorney in Miami at the time, Acosta signed off on the non-prosecution deal, which went into effect in 2008.
**SNIP**
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw ordered an investigation last month into the county's actions at the time, but on Tuesday, he asked DeSantis to transfer oversight of the probe to the Florida Division of Law Enforcement "given the recent questions that have been raised."
The request from Bradshaw, who was sheriff at the time of the secret agreement, came after more than 4,000 people signed a state lawmaker's petition demanding a state investigation.

The CIA ain’t gonna like this.
Five Guys either.
DeSantas in 2024!
The DA who cut this deal is dirty. Acosta sacrificed his own career to prevent it from damaging President Trump but he is the only reason Epstein got as much as he did. The DA was ready to let him walk without any jail time, without sex offender registration, and without making a dime’s worth of restitution to the victims.
wwhat difference does it make.
it was Mueller, and no one. NO ONE.
in the DOJ or FBI gives a damn.
NO ONE.
Ron DeSantis 2024.
God I love this guy!
DISBAND THE FBI and absorb their functions into the US Marshals office

Excellent.
Separate, slightly OT topic:
WHY THE HELL DOES HANNITY STILL RAVE ABOUT EPSTEIN ON HIS SHOW? HES ON RIGHT NOW.
The man is a lying creep. He should be shunned. I know, innocent until proven guilty. But Harvey Weinstein has not yet been proven guilty either.
Guess what, my dear beloved Sean? You can graduate from Harvard Law and still be an amoral sicko.
They want to investigate a guy that died in jail next month??
Arkincide???
He is the best Gov for us in many years
I agree!!!!
“The DA who cut this deal is dirty.”
Yes, and he needs to be brought before a Grand Jury, put under oath, and forced to tell them the whole truth and name all the names involved.
Personally, with very few exceptions, Trump has had a deplorable record with his appointments to his own government.
WHOSE intel..?
Yes Ron DeSantis 2024...he’s doing Great...
FTA: Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw ordered an investigation last month into the county's actions at the time...
