Secretary of Labor in 2017, Acosta faced confirmation questions about the plea deal but was confirmed 60-40.

Alexander Acosta, who as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida negotiated Epstein's controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement, was appointed Secretary of Labor by President Trump in February 2017.

Acosta resigned on July 12, 2019 amid renewed scrutiny after Epstein's arrest. During vetting, Acosta reportedly told Trump's transition team he 'was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.'
