Department of labor. and what i have not seen is incredible job creation that we have seen in this economy, more than 5 million jobs. i haven t seen that. workplace injuries are down, bucking a trend. workplace fatalities are down. the lowest number of fatalities in mining. i have seen coverage in this case that is over 12 years old that has vetting at multiple levels of the department of justice. going forward, i do not think it is right for this administration s labor department to have epstein as the focus rather than the incredible economy that we have today. and so i called the president this morning. i told him that i thought the right thing was to step aside. cabinet positions are temporary trusts. it would be selfish for me to stay in this position and ....
We had one setback and one tremendous victory. and i had a tremendous victory that was rarely covered by the press. two days ago i won the emoluments case. people don t know that being president, i lose billions of dollars, and especially in money i can t make because i don t do deals. but i loose billions of dollars. but another thing, i get a salary of $400 or $450,000 a year. i don t think any other president has ever given up it s a lot of money, almost a half a million dollars. i don t think i ve ever seen anybody say i give up my salary. i m not looking for credit, but i give up my salary. i get zero. but you know what makes me happy? that we re doing a great job. and i want to thank alex acosta. he was a great, great secretary. ....

Continue to talk about this case that is 12 years old rather than the amazing economy we have right now. so i submitted my resignation to the president effective seven days from today, effective one week from today, earlier this morning. (inaudible). there is no need at all as far as i m concerned. i watched alex yesterday. i thought alex did a great job. you know, you can always second-guess people and say it should have been tougher. they do it with me all the time. i would make a great deal with anybody. then they say, like the democrats, oh, it could have been better. i got $1.2 billion settlement, fine, from a company, from zte. and the next day and everybody couldn t believe it. the next day the democrats said, oh, he should have got more. you can always second-guess. that s what people do. i just want to tell you this is ....
He had a 53-page indictment ready. there was nothing that would stop him. basically what he had to say was dishonest during his press conference. and keeping it secret violates victims rights laws, federal and state. a judge just found that. victims have a right to know and have input. i want to bring in elliot willia williams. certainly critics of the handling of that case, the co conspirators, the other women who were involved in this situation, the recruiters, as they were in this situation, none of them were prosecuted. they, as part of that plea deal, they were all free to go on their way. was that something that struck you as well? . many things struck me and struck many former prosecutors about this. and, look, epstein pardon me, acosta still has many questions to answer on behalf of victims whose rights were not protected here. but let s be clear, peter, this was not a big moral stand by alex acosta on behalf of ....
