As U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Acosta negotiated the controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein. Acosta later told incoming Trump transition officials that he had been informed Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and was off-limits.
⚠️ Inclusion in this database means a person's name appears in the released Epstein documents in the context described. The DOJ's own February 14, 2026 letter to Congress explicitly states that names appear 'in a wide variety of contexts,' including unrelated press reporting fragments. Presence in a document does not establish criminal wrongdoing.
