The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened an investigation into the Trump administration’s Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta over his role in the controversial sweetheart deal handed out to billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein was originally accused of trafficking over 40 underage girls–and molesting in excess of 100–while often forcing them to have sex with powerful men rumored to be high-profile players in both of America’s major political parties.
This infamous and vast underage sex-trafficking operation is sometimes known as “The Lolita Express“–a reference to a private plane owned by Epstein where many of the girls were allegedly forced to service the nation’s elite.
In 2007, federal prosecutors, under the leadership of Acosta, who was then the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, quietly entered into a secret non-prosecution agreement with the billionaire which ensured that Epstein and his alleged co-conspirators would not be prosecuted federally in exchange for Epstein’s guilty plea to much less serious state prostitution charges.
Ultimately, Epstein’s connections apparently got him a slap on the wrist and he served 13 months in a county jail and home detention for solicitation and procurement of minors for prostitution after he admitted to paying for nude massages that occasionally turned sexual. Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators were all shielded from prosecution under the extraordinary and unprecedented agreement and the FBI’s ongoing probe closed up shop.
