Miami U.S. Attorney recuses itself; Trump‑appointed prosecutor takes over Epstein victims' rights case The passage identifies a concrete procedural shift-reassignment of the federal victims' rights case to U.S. Attorney Byung J. "BJay" Pak, a Trump appointee-while linking former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta (now Labor Secretary) and DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility to a probe of prosecutorial misconduct. It provides specific names, dates, and agencies that merit follow‑up, but the core facts have already been reported in the press, limiting novelty. Key insights: Miami U.S. Attorney's Office recused itself from the Epstein case in March 2019.; The case was reassigned to the Northern District of Georgia U.S. Attorney Byung J. "BJay" Pak, appointed by President Trump.; Judge Kenneth A. Marra ruled that former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta’s office concealed the 2008 plea deal, violating the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
