Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Former U.S. attorney for Florida's Southern District Alex Acosta testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee during a closed deposition on Friday.
Acosta arrived for the deposition hearing regarding the 2008 Jeffrey Epstein case on Friday morning and ignored reporters' questions while entering the committee room in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, according to ABC News.
"We want to know what went on during the prosecution, when many believe that Epstein was awarded a sweetheart deal," Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told media on Friday.
"We're going to ask a lot of questions about this," Comer added. "This is going to be a pretty hard-hitting deposition."
