General Discussion

Last month, Acosta told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that he didn’t recall any discussion of “potential financial crimes” as part of his office’s Epstein investigation. Yet the emails and documents from Epstein’s Yahoo account show that prosecutors in his office discussed the financial-crimes component of the investigation with Acosta and copied him on correspondence about it. Records obtained as part of the money laundering probe were stored at the US Attorney’s Office in a folder titled, “Money Laundering,” which contains “attorney research and handwritten notes,” according to a partial list of the government’s evidence that was filed in a related court proceeding.
