President Donald Trump's new nominee for secretary of labor, Alexander Acosta, could face a grilling in the Senate over claims that — while he was the top federal prosecutor in Miami — he cut a sweetheart plea deal in 2008 with a billionaire investor accused of having sex with dozens of underage girls.

As the U.S. attorney for Southern Florida, Acosta agreed not to file any federal charges against the wealthy financier, Jeffrey Epstein, if he pled guilty to state charges involving soliciting prostitution and soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Epstein ultimately received an 18-month sentence in county jail and served about 13 months — treatment that provoked outrage from alleged victims in the case.

We need to get to the bottom of this, once and for all, no matter what the outcome is.

Could be. But after I got suckered in by Reagan, Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama, I am not leaving any stone unturned. Let's air out our dirty linen, no matter who's been sleeping in that bed.
