DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility Report on Acosta/Epstein Plea Deal

Summary

The Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report concluded that former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta exercised 'poor judgment' in negotiating the 2007 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein. However, the report found no professional misconduct. It criticized the premature resolution before the investigation was complete, noting additional victims were still being identified when the deal was struck.
