Epstein-Trump coverup: Former Trump Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta gave Epstein co-conspirators the deal of the century in 2007.

 

You don't need to wonder why.

Headline:  Florida Bulldog, 1/7/2026

Noreen Morris reports:

The Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking scandal, a political tsunami that threatens to swamp Donald Trump’s presidency, can be condensed into three words in a legal document. 

The language appears in a 2007 deal Epstein’s lawyers made with the office of Alex Acosta, then the U.S. Attorney for South Florida. Epstein would plead guilty in state court to two felonies: solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution.\ 

In exchange, he and four of his female employees that authorities said aided his scheme, plus “any potential co-conspirators,” would receive immunity from federal sex-trafficking charges punishable by up to 45 years in prison. 

Those three words – bolded for emphasis – remain hugely relevant today. They provide a legal shield for silent, nameless criminals to hide behind while Epstein survivors publicly relive their anguish in hopes of finally inspiring some kind of justice. 

The survivors and their bipartisan allies succeeded at getting Congress to pass and Trump to sign the Jeffrey Epstein Transparency Act in November. But the botched rollout of millions of FBI documents is stirring doubts that well-connected individuals in Epstein’s network of sex abusers will ever be punished.   [emphasis added]

Thanks to Donald Trump, I know what it feels like to be eyed like a piece of meat
