Update:
Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta announced his resignation on Friday after receiving harsh criticism for his role in brokering a 2008 plea deal with registered sex-offender and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He will be replaced by Deputy Labor Secretary Patrick Pizzella.
“I do not think it is right or fair to have me as the focus,” said Acosta, standing next to President Trump at a morning press conference, adding “I thought the right thing was to step aside.”
