US politicians demand resignation of President Donald Trump’s labour secretary over a secret plea deal with wealthy fund manager accused of sex abuse
Trump told reporters on Tuesday that Acosta has been an "excellent secretary of labour."
Trump described Epstein as a "terrific guy" in a 2002 New York magazine article, but he said on Tuesday that he was "not a fan of his." "With the evidence available more than a decade ago, federal prosecutors insisted that Epstein go to jail, register as a sex offender and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator," Acosta tweeted.
The plea deal was kept secret from Epstein's victims until his sentencing. Under the deal, he pleaded guilty to a state charge of soliciting prostitution from a minor and served 13 months in a county jail.
