He said that the official had been a &#8220;great&#8221; labor secretary and added that he had not asked for his resignation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry this happened,&#8221; Trump said.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Q9bxwmzKQM\">pic.twitter.com\/Q9bxwmzKQM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Secretary Acosta (@SecretaryAcosta) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SecretaryAcosta\/status\/1149688089213714432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alex Acosta said that his resignation would be effective within seven days and that it did not seem right to him that his handling of the Epstein case should distract him from his duties as head of the labor portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;What I mean is that we have a fantastic economy and that it is about focusing on the creation of jobs,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acosta, born in Miami in a family of Cuban origin, was the federal prosecutor of that city when he supervised a non-trial agreement with Epstein in 2008. Epstein avoided federal charges and spent 13 months in jail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar charges recently filed against Epstein by federal prosecutors in New York put Acosta&#8217;s role in the 2008 agreement under renewed scrutiny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this reason, Democratic legislators and presidential candidates had demanded Acosta\u2019s resignation and a federal judge said the agreement violated federal law because the victims were not notified. The Department of Justice is investigating that aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After initially defending Acosta, Trump said he would study &#8220;very carefully&#8221; the 2008 agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The investigation of that agreement began months ago after a report in the Miami Herald.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epstein, 66, reached a secret agreement to end a federal investigation into the sexual abuse of at least 40 minors that could have sent him to prison for life. He pleaded guilty to state charges, compensated the victims and was registered as a sex offender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acosta had tried to clear his name and encouraged by Trump held a press conference to defend his actions. He maintained with legal arguments that his office had reached the best possible agreement at the time, taking into account the welfare of the victims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We did what we did because we wanted to see Epstein in jail,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We believe we proceeded appropriately.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the insistence of the press, Acosta reiterated that the circumstances had changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Now we have 12 years of knowledge and hindsight and we live in a very different world,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Today&#8217;s world treats victims in a very different way.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When federal prosecutors in New York announced this week that they were bringing new charges against Epstein, Acosta tweeted that he was &#8220;pleased&#8221; by the decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The serious crimes committed by Epstein are horrendous,&#8221; Acosta tweeted. &#8220;With the evidence available more than a decade ago, federal prosecutors insisted that Epstein go to jail, register as a sex offender and warn the world that he was a sexual predator.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Now that new evidence and additional testimonies are available, the NYPD has an important opportunity to do justice more fully.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/es\/2019\/07\/12\/acosta-epstein-escandalo\/?smid=tw-espanol&amp;smtyp=cur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check <em>New York Times<\/em> Post<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acosta took office in early 2017 at the head of the Department of Labor, a department that oversees the enforcement of more than 180 federal laws covering some 10 million employers and 125 million workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had enraged some conservatives who demanded his departure long before the Epstein scandal. They objected to his decisions to rule out labor lawsuits for discrimination and to keep in their posts officials who came from the presidency of Barack Obama.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acosta is a former federal prosecutor and head of civil rights, a graduate of the prestigious Harvard law school.
