DOJ review says Acosta showed poor judgment in Epstein non-prosecution deal

The Justice Department Office of Professional Responsibility released its review of the federal handling of Epstein earlier Florida case. The review said Alexander Acosta showed poor judgment in approving the non-prosecution agreement and criticized the failure to notify victims before the agreement became final. The report did not find professional misconduct under DOJ internal standards, but it documented major prosecutorial failures around notice, transparency, and discretion.
