The U.S. Department of Labor appears in the Epstein documents primarily in connection with Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who resigned in 2019 after criticism over the lenient 2008 plea deal he approved for Epstein when serving as U.S. Attorney in Florida.
The most substantive appearances relate to Acosta's tenure as Labor Secretary and congressional scrutiny of his handling of the Epstein case. Documents reference budget hearings where Acosta defended his past decisions and Senate Democrats questioning whether DOL weakened worker protections. The files also include coverage of Eugene Scalia's nomination to lead DOL after Acosta's resignation. Many other mentions are incidental—regulatory documents, newsletters about Virgin Islands labor matters, and general government records where DOL is referenced alongside other federal agencies.
Key Highlights
- •Labor Secretary Alex Acosta faced congressional grilling over his 2008 Epstein plea deal and resigned in July 2019
- •Documents include coverage of Eugene Scalia's DOL nomination following Acosta's departure amid the Epstein controversy
- •Senate Democrats questioned DOL's Office of Professional Responsibility about whether Acosta mishandled the case
- •Many mentions are incidental—regulatory filings, Virgin Islands newsletters, and general federal government references
