The Virgin Islands Daily News reported on March 2, 2019, that Democrats are calling for the resignation of Labor Secretary Alex Acosta due to his involvement in a controversial plea deal for multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Republicans support an investigation into Acosta's role in the case. Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, one of President Donald Trump's biggest defenders in Congress, has taken a different stance on re-examining Acosta's handling of the Epstein case. In an interview with the Miami Herald, Gaetz said that doing so sets a "dangerous" precedent for prosecutors. A federal judge ruled that prosecutors broke the law when they failed to inform Epstein's underage victims of the plea agreement. The judge gave federal prosecutors 15 days to confer with Epstein's victims and their attorneys to come up with a resolution. Gaetz believes it is important not to second-guess decisions made by prosecutors in hindsight. However, some Democrats are calling for Acosta's resignation, with Rep. Donna Shalala being one exception among those who signed on to a letter demanding the passage of a bill that would allow the Department of Justice's Inspector General to review conduct of attorneys within Justice. The bill has received bipartisan support in Congress.
