"Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who gave Jeffrey Epstein and an untold number of his co-conspirators immunity for sex trafficking dozens of underage girls, defended his decision not to prosecute Epstein during a closed-door congressional hearing Friday."
"The hearing, held by the House Oversight Committee, is the latest in a series of efforts by Congress to scrutinize how the late financier managed to get away with abusing hundreds of girls and young women over more than two decades - despite Epstein being on the FBI's radar since 2006."
"The scandal continues to consume the Trump administration, which has been unable to satisfy public outrage over the Justice Department's decision in July to not release all of its Epstein files."
"Most of the material the DOJ has released thus far has already been in the public domain."
Alexander Acosta defended his decision not to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein during a closed-door congressional hearing. The House Oversight Committee held the hearing as part of congressional scrutiny into how Epstein allegedly abused hundreds of girls and young women over more than two decades. Epstein was on the FBI's radar since 2006. The case has provoked public outrage and political fallout, creating a scandal that continues to affect the Trump administration. The Justice Department in July declined to release all Epstein-related files, and much of the material the DOJ has released was already publicly available.
