The US Department of Justice has opened an investigation into whether attorneys committed "professional misconduct" in the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's child sex abuse case. The case had been the subject of an investigation by the Miami Herald, which revealed that then-US Attorney Alex Acosta, now President Trump's labor secretary, shelved a 53-page indictment that could have put Epstein behind bars for life.

The investigation is being handled by the Office of Professional Responsibility, which typically results in employees being fired, but its findings are not usually made public.

In an email from Jeffrey Epstein to Jes Staley and Peter Mandelson on January 24, 2010, the sender discusses a comparison between President John F. Kennedy's actions against U.S. Steel in 1962 and Barack Obama's threats to bankers at that time. The writer suggests that JFK took strong action by dressing down U.S. Steel publicly for threatening economic recovery and stability while Americans were fighting in Southeast Asia, whereas Obama only made generic populist rhetoric. U.S. Steel capitulated within two days after JFK threatened his brother's Justice Department with access to corporate records. The Times reported that Kennedy was at a high point in popular support after this incident.
