WASHINGTON

The White House said Friday it's "looking into" Labor Secretary Alex Acosta's handling of a secret plea deal with a wealthy financier accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls

A federal judge ruled Thursday that prosecutors in Florida violated the rights of victims by reaching the non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein. Acosta was the Miami U.S. attorney who oversaw the arrangement.

President Donald Trump said he didn't know much about the case but volunteered that Acosta has done "a great job" as labor secretary. As for the Epstein case, Trump added, "That seems like a long time ago"

The best people.
