I was really confused when reading Anon's comments about Trump hiring Acosta and wondered if I had missed something. I realised why when I actually read the stories as I had never previously heard of Alexander Acosta before.
Apart from his work with Epstein, he has worked on some very interesting cases that are currently relevant.
Here's a snippet:
One case Acosta oversaw during his time in this position involved Ali Shaygan, a doctor who was accused of illegally prescribing painkillers. Shaygan was acquitted, but what was notable about this case was that it was discovered during the proceedings that three prosecutors and a Drug Enforcement Administration official had secretly recorded conversations with Shaygan’s attorney, David O. Markus. At the time, Acosta said that he was taking steps to ensure this did not happen again.
Acosta also oversaw the case against UBS, a Switzerland bank which was accused of helping Americans evade taxes. The bank paid a $780 million settlement and agreed to hand over the names of some of their clients, according to The Washington Post.
