Ted Cruz Refuses to Say if Alex Acosta Should Resign
‘I’m concerned about the allegations, but the Department of Justice has an ongoing investigation’
EXCERPT:
SMITH: "I'm running out of time here, but Alex Acosta, the labor secretary, he was involved in that secret plea deal in 2008. Should he have to go? I only have a few seconds left."
CRUZ: "Look, he was the U.S. Attorney. I’m concerned about the allegations, but the Department of Justice has an ongoing investigation. I think we should find out what happened. I think we should have imposed the toughest penalty we could have based on the evidence. And I think we need to inquire if we did that."
