WASHINGTON — Former South Florida US Attorney Alex Acosta testified to House lawmakers last month that a federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein foundered in the mid-2000s because of a lack of victims willing to testify that would have made trial a “crapshoot,” The Post has learned. Acosta discussed the evidentiary and other challenges prosecutors faced during a six-hour interview with Oversight Committee members and staff on Sept. 19, a transcript of which was obtained Friday.
