We begin with a growing political fallout from the arrest of financial mogul Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges. Labor secretary Alexander Acosta is facing new calls to resign over his role in a 2008 plea deal that allowed him to avoid federal prosecution for allegedly molesting teen girls. President trump is expressing sympathy for acosta but now is distancing himself from epstein, a man he once called a terrific guy. Trevor ault has the new details from washington. Reporter yeah, so the source goes back 11 years when Jeffrey Epstein struck a deal to serve less than two years in prison and avoid a possible life sentence in an investigation involving 40 teenage girls and this deal was orchestrated by a now prominent member of the trump administration. Against labor secretary Alexander Acosta, President Trump standing by his secretary for now. Youre talking about a long time ago and again it was a decision made i think not by him but by a lot of people. Reporter Top Democrats and multiple president ial candidates calling for acosta to resign in the wake of indictment of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein charged with sex trafficking girls as young as 14. Some of the new allegations also part of an old investigation into epstein for more than a decade ago where acosta served as the prosecutor in south florida. Epstein struck a deal with acosta registering as a sex offender and serving just 13 months in county jail. One of epsteins alleged victims saying she was kept in the dark as the deal was reached. They were already signing the secret plea agreement with him, you know, and keeping keeping me out of the loop. Reporter secretary acosta responding to critics tweeting, the crimes committed by epstein are horrific and i am pleased that new york prosecutors are moving forward with a case based on new evidence, but a federal judge has determined acosta and his prosecutors broke the law by not informing the victims about the terms of the prior deal. I am calling on secretary acosta to resign. Reporter President Trump acknowledges he knew epstein but the Trump Organization saying epstein was banned from maralago years ago. I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I dont think ive spoken to him for 15 years. I wasnt a fan. Reporter well, President Trump says the white house is looking into secretary acostas role in prosecuting epstein but President Trump also noted that under secretary acosta the economy has done very well. Janai, kenneth. Trevor, thank you for joining us this morning.

Now to the growing calls for a hate Crime Investigation in arizona. Police say a white man killed a black teenager because he felt threatened by his rap music. The murder has sparked outrage, even getting the attention of a president ial candidate. He was really gods gift. Reporter this morning a family is grieving the loss of a 17yearold in arizona. He was out there living his life going to work, going to school, making sure he was getting everything taken care of. He didnt have just one job. He had two jobs. And was trying to get a third job. Reporter police say Elijah Alamin was at a soda machine when Michael Adams walked up behind him and stabbed him to death. According to Court Records adams told investigators he heard elijah listening to rap music in the parking lot saying the music made him feel unsafe and he needed to protect himself and the community from the victim. Supposedly what he said is that his music had reminded him of others who attacked him. Reporter this morning Civil Rights Group are calling for hate crime charges against adams with more than 100,000 tweets containing justice for elijah including one from president ial candidate writing rip, elijah. My name is michael paul adams. Reporter records show adams was released from prison just two days before the murder after serving a 13month sentence for aggravated assault. His lawyer says the Arizona Department of corrections should have given adams access to Mental Health services after his release. This is a disabled person and hes been released into the world and left to fend for himself. And two days later this is where we are. Reporter in response, the department of corrections says adams was given information about where to find help for Mental Illnesses but the Department Says it had no Legal Authority over him after he was released. As for elijahs family, they say Mental Illness is no excuse. They say hate motivated the murder. So the fact that someone is trying to claim that thats the reason why my brothers life was taken, its just an excuse and it doesnt help. It doesnt it doesnt lend any type of consolement like it doesnt help at all. There is no hate crime statute in arizona but a judge can impose a tougher sentence if its determined that a hate crime was committed.
