Mexico case, he was accused of flying victims across state lines, which would make that federal. he has multiple jurisdictions looking at him, investigating him. one person who knows what epstein did and what epstein should be afraid of is epstein himself. >> dana: emily, what about this new mexico story? because now you have new mexico all of a sudden theyre going to do this? the accusations have been out there for awhile. did they not pursue this because there was a previous nonprosecution agr...

The time in that sense. this to me is another day in the trump white house. what im surprised on is the odd show of loyalty the president showed acosta publicly. to appear with him, to stand next to him as he did that is a little untrump-like. usually he washes his hands -- >> being a perp walk. >> it did feel a little bit like that, too. the fact that he put his arm around him is a little untrump-like. look, what happened -- when the woman that spoke to savannah guthrie, i think we all thought ...

>> it seems to me the trump administration might have calculated they had some exposure over the continued focus on jeffrey epstein because of mr. acosta and concluded that mr. acosta had to go. during the earlier round of trouble in the sex case involving mr. epstein, mr. trump publicly took to the air waves and said jeff epstein is a terrific guy. he appears to love beautiful women almost as much as i do. these are direct quotes. >> that was back in 2002, i think. >> thats right. and some of t...

Of a sex trafficking crime, it should have been alex acosta. so to take in the very weak position he did as the united states attorney in miami and really let jeffrey epstein off the hook in the way did he, was -- was pretty bad. and, you know, in his -- it struck me really in his press conference the other day it sounded more like a closing argument the defense might give if they were trying to defend alex acosta. he said that, well, the crime victims rietsd act didnghts act to these young wome...

Government lawyers obtained bank documents showing that epstein wired one $000 to one individual two days after that "miami herald" story. two days later epstein wired another $250,000 to another alleged co-conspirator. this course of action and in particular its timing suggests the defendant was attempting to further influence co-conspirators who might provide information against him. revelation comes a day after epsteins lawyers argue that epstein was entitled to bail and request that he be re...

Series involving a name by the name of bruce ryan hart who was an assistant prosecutor with acosta. he technically was not on the epstein case, but epstein was pressuring these prosecutors, and among the other tactics he used was to offer them a job. mr. rein hart, hes now a federal magistrate. hes denied he did anything wrong at all. its very suspect that one day hes working for acosta and the next day hes working for epstein. he literally left his job at the prosecutors office one day and open...

Come forward and say, look. acosta could have kept investigating the case against epstein if he had wanted to. he could have brought charges to trial. he had a 53-page indictment ready. so i think the backlash continued to be so great that if it became tough for acosta to continue in that role. so, again, the president and acosta just announcing this moments ago as the president was about to depart for milwaukee. this is certainly a significant development. and its worth noting, steph, there had...

1990s was at a party just him and jeffrey epstein and about a dozen women, some of whom im sure were underaged is really problematic. i dont think there is any room that is going to be made between him, between epstein and the president of the united states just because the secretary of labor resigns. and more than that, this comes a couple of weeks after the bombshell report on the president. so its one sex scandal after another. i dont think this goes anywhere any time soon. >> i have to disag...

The president scramble for the county line there. every politician in washington would do the same. thats why acosta was inevitable he would be going through the old trap door there sooner rather than later. its just -- look, theres such a media hurricane going around the horrendous crimes of epstein that nobody in politics wants to be near. we know president trump is never going to wind up on the cover of political loyalty magazine. the minute acosta became a negative, hes gone. the other thing...

Any human trafficking. the irony of that cannot be overstated. that is part of his mandate, and hes the boss who signed off a decade ago on this sweetheart plea deal for jeffrey epstein. stay with us, sarah. let me bring you back in, because i want to go back to you on the judgment and vetting of the white house in a number of picks including this pick because we knew a lot of this before his confirmation hearing. can you explain to people the highlights acosta gave to epstein? >> everyones been...
