and attorney as well. kristen, this is all squarely on acosta s plate right now. he s having a news conference at 2:30. obviously we want to hear what he is going to say. you have some background on what s going on at the white house. there was reporting that there was some concern about him not from the president but others on the white house staff. he is embattled right now and there was already concern about acosta, concerned he wasn t carrying out the president s deregulation agenda effectively enough and this has added to those concerns. i think there s pressure building up to explain this plea deal that he made with epstein so many years ago in which epstein only got 13 months in jail for similar allegations part-time jail. yes. he worked out of an office. and it was lowered from a federal case to a state case. exactly.
