Donald Trump announced Friday morning that embattled Labor Secretary Alex Acosta is resigning, effective seven days from now, and that it was totally Acosta’s decision. He “believes Epstein has become a distraction and that it was time for him to go.”
“I thought the right thing was to step aside,” Acosta told reporters.
So his attempt at a face- and job-saving press conference a few days ago didn’t go down so well with Trump after all.
