“He also would not admit that Mr. Epstein received a sweetheart deal,” Garcia said. “He would not admit, in fact, stands by the decision to giving Mr. Epstein a sweetheart deal.”

Garcia said Acosta would also not claim any responsibility to the victims and admitted he had no knowledge of what had happened to Epstein’s victims to date.

Others said Acosta indicated the victims at the time would not be believed. However, Acosta also told lawmakers he had never actually reviewed victims’ statements.
