The DoJ's Office of Professional Responsibility released a summary on Thursday of the handling of Epstein's first federal investigation between 2006 and 2008. The full 347-page report detailed law enforcement's plan to take Epstein into custody as early as May of 2007. Alex Acosta, the former Labor Secretary under the Trump administration, was at the time the Attorney for the Southern District of Florida.
