A U.S. attorney's office under Alex Acosta "Bent over backwards" for Jeffrey Epstein, Acosta's number two said in a 2007 letter to Epstein's lawyer.
A U.S. attorney's office under current Labor Secretary Alex Acosta's leadership "Bent over backwards" for accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein while negotiating a non-prosecution agreement, Acosta's assistant U.S. attorney wrote in a 2007 letter to Epstein's attorney.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida granted federal immunity to Epstein and many of his associates under the 2007 agreement in return for Epstein pleading guilty to state-level charges.
Acosta defended the deal in a press conference Wednesday, pointing a finger at the former state prosecutor, who Acosta said wanted to let Epstein go free without any jail time.
Acosta's office catered to Epstein throughout the negotiation, according to a December 2007 letter that Acosta's number two, Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Marie Villafana, sent under Acosta's letterhead to Epstein attorney Jay Lefkowitz.
Villafana told Lefkowitz that she felt like she "Bent over backwards to keep in mind the effect that the agreement would have on Mr. Epstein and to make sure that you understood the repercussions of the agreement."
A Department of Labor spokeswoman sent the DCNF a letter Acosta emailed to Epstein attorney Ken Starr in December 2007.
