WASHINGTON (AP) — Labor Secretary Alex Acosta is planning to make a statement about his handling of a sex-trafficking case involving now-jailed financier Jeffrey Epstein. Acosta was a federal prosecutor in Florida involved in a secret 2008 plea deal that let Epstein avoid federal prosecution on charges of molesting teenage girls. Democrats are clamoring for Acosta’s resignation now that the matter has been reignited with new charges against the wealthy hedge fund manager.
