Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta will be stepping down in a week over his past involvement in a highly controversial plea deal for financier Jeffrey Epstein, who is now facing sex trafficking charges.
President Trump announced the shakeup Friday morning in remarks to reporters.
Acosta came under fire this week for his role as U.S. attorney for Florida in securing a plea deal for Epstein that resulted in an 18-month sentence — he served just 13 months.
Good riddance. Whether or not Acosta was the mastermind behind letting Epstein go, it's clear he knows more than he's letting on.

Bet no one is sad about this one.
Good riddance.

While your point rings true for the court of law, employees don't have to break a law for us to politely (or not) tell them to get lost.

Do you think he did a bad job in the role? If so, then yes, asking him to leave, or him voluntarily stepping down is a good thing. But, not if the reason is because he was involved in a case many years before taking this job, that is now being questioned. Guilt by association is still a witch hint mentality.
I hope you would agree, regardless of your personal political feelings about your current president.

He dropped the ball and/or helped facilitate the freedom of a kid toucher. I don't care if he was the greatest Labor Secretary the US has ever seen, that's a line not to be crossed.
Sheesh people, You are acting like sharks with blood in the water. All I am asking is for letting the cards play out before declaring you won the pot.
Federal authorities consider the smaller of the two islands to be Epstein’s primary residence in the United States, a place where at least one alleged victim said in a court affidavit that she participated in an orgy, as well as had sex with Epstein and other people. She said she saw former U.S. President Bill Clinton on the island, but that she never saw him having sex with anyone. A Clinton spokesman has issued a statement saying he never visited there.

Unless it's H. Clinton...no indictment, no trial, just "lock that POS up"
Please, where is that quote from? Not from me. Add the post link if you can.

You know what I'm talking about. Trump supporters don't need any legal decision. Sharks in the water indeed!
