WASHINGTON — President Trump’s embattled labor secre- tary, R. Alexander Acosta, an- nounced his resignation on Friday amid continuing questions about his handling of a sex crimes case involving the financier Jeffrey Ep- stein when Mr. Acosta was a fed- eral prosecutor in Florida. Mr. Trump, who announced the resignation, said Mr. Acosta had called him on Friday morning to tell the president he planned to step down. Mr. Acosta’s decision came only two days after he held a news conference to defend his handling of the 2008 sex crimes prosecution of Mr. Epstein while trying to quell a chorus of Demo- cratic calls for his resignation and convincing Mr. Trump he was strong enough to survive. “He felt the constant drumbeat of press about a prosecution which took place under his watch more than 12 years ago was bad for the Administration, which he so strongly believes in, and he gra- ciously tendered his resignation,” the president wrote on Twitter af- ter appearing with Mr. Acosta on the South Lawn of the White House before leaving for Milwau- kee and Cleveland. “This was him, not me,” the president said of Mr. Acosta’s de- cision to resign, adding that Mr. Acosta has been a “great, great secretary” and a “tremendous tal- ent,” and noting that “he went to Harvard, a great student.” Mr. Acosta acknowledged that the story line around him was a distraction to Mr. Trump. “The fo- cus needs to be on this economy and on job creation, on the de- creased fatalities in the workplace and in mining,” he said. “And go- ing forward, that’s where this ad- ministration needs to focus, not on this matter.” Mr. Trump named Mr. Acosta’s deputy, Patrick Pizzella, to serve as acting secretary of labor when Mr. Acosta’s resignation becomes effective July 19. That will bring to four the number of cabinet agen- cies led by acting secretaries. The president had initially told people that he thought that Mr. Acosta did well in explaining why he had agreed to a plea deal in ACOSTA TO RESIGN OVER AN ’08 DEAL AS SUPPORT FLAGS SWIFT CHANGE OF HEART Concern a ‘Drumbeat of Press’ Would Distract an Administration This article is by Annie Karni, Ei- leen Sullivan and Noam Scheiber.

The much-anticipated settle- ment still needs final approval in the coming weeks from the Jus- tice Department, which rarely re- jects settlements reached by the agency. It would be the biggest fine by far levied by the federal government against a technology company, easily eclipsing the $22 million imposed on Google in 2012. The size of the penalty under- scored the rising frustration among Washington officials with how Silicon Valley giants collect, store and use people’s informa- tion. It would also represent one of the most aggressive regulatory actions by the Trump administra- tion, and a sign of the govern- ment’s willingness to punish one of the country’s biggest and most powerful companies. President Trump has dialed back regula- tions in many industries, but the Facebook settlement sets a new bar for privacy enforcement by United States officials, who have brought few cases against large technology companies. In addition to the fine, Facebook agreed to more comprehensive oversight of how it handles user data, according to the people. But none of the conditions in the set- tlement will impose strict limita- tions on Facebook’s ability to col- lect and share data with third par- ties. And that decision appeared to help split the five-member com- mission. The 3-to-2 vote, taken in secret this week, drew the dissent of the two Democrats on the com- mission because they sought stricter limits on the company, the people said.

The system, called the S-400, in- cludes advanced radar to detect aircraft and other targets, and the United States has been unyielding in its opposition to Turkey’s acqui- sition of the equipment, which is deeply troubling to Washington on several levels. It puts Russian technology in- side the territory of a key NATO ally — one from which strikes into Syria have been staged. The Rus- sian engineers who will be re- quired to set up the system, Amer- ican officials fear, will have an op- portunity to learn much about the American-made fighter jets that are also part of Turkey’s arsenal.

VITALY NEVAR/REUTERS Continued on Page A7 WASHINGTON — When Sena- tor Bernie Sanders brought his presidential campaign to Pitts- burgh earlier this year, he quietly added a poignant stop to his schedule: a visit to the Tree of Life synagogue, where 11 congregants were killed in an anti-Semitic shooting last fall. But his appearance also came with explicit instructions to his campaign aides, according to two Democrats familiar with the con- versation: They were not to tell the news media about his conver- sation with the rabbi there. Some aides dissented, believing there was a graceful way to dis- close the visit. But Mr. Sanders, the only Jewish candidate among the leading Democratic contend- ers, did not want the visit to be perceived as a publicity grab. His impulse illustrated a deeper chal- lenge confronting his aides and supporters: After nearly four dec- ades of running, and usually win- ning, iconoclastic campaigns on his own terms, he is deeply reluc- tant to change his approach. Mr. Sanders has not regularly talked about his personal history of growing up poor in a Brooklyn neighborhood full of Holocaust survivors. Until recently, he re- sisted letting his campaign poll voters in Iowa, the first nominat- ing state. He has largely defied his staff’s urging to go on the offen- sive against Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic front-runner. But now, slipping in the polls and outraised by some rivals, in- cluding a fellow progressive, Eliz- abeth Warren, Mr. Sanders is fac- ing growing pressure from some of his allies, and within his own ranks, to adjust his strategy. “I do think he’s going to have to draw a contrast with the vice pres- ident,” said Representative Ro Khanna of California, one of Mr. Sanders’s four campaign co- chairs, referring to Mr. Biden. He added that the 77-year-old Ver- mont senator should also “speak about his personal story.” Voters, Mr. Khanna said, “have got to see that human side.” In what is shaping up to be a vol- atile Democratic primary, Mr. Sanders retains significant strengths. He has more money on hand ($30 million) than any other candidate, and nearly all his do- nors can contribute again because they have yet to give the maxi- mum amount. He enjoys the un- wavering devotion of his core base of voters, which will not flag with the ups and downs of the campaign. In a contest that could remain splintered after Iowa and New Hampshire, and in which candi- dates only need to garner 15 per- cent of the vote to earn delegates, that loyalty may prove critical to keeping Mr. Sanders in contention up to the convention. Yet Mr. Sanders has struggled to expand his support in the early nominating states beyond those die-hard supporters. In Iowa, for example, he has fallen to fourth place in recent polling.

Joseph Thomas, 51, remembers how it came into his neighborhood last time. “We would not be talking about Katrina had the levees not broke,” he said, explaining that the disas- ter in 2005 happened because faulty levees and flood walls failed to hold back Hurricane Katrina’s surge coming in from the Gulf of Mexico. With Tropical Storm Barry ex- pected to make landfall as a Cate- gory 1 hurricane early Saturday morning in south Louisiana, Mr. Thomas’s eyes are on a different front: the fortresslike levees along the already engorged Mis- sissippi River. Things seemed to be under control, he said, and the official statements were reassur- ing. But that seemed the case in 2005, too. “I don’t want to see anybody go through that again,” he said. The trauma of levee failures from Katrina remained thick in the minds of residents as they scrambled to stock food, fill sand- bags and pump their cars and gen- erators full of gas in preparation for what is likely to be one of the biggest tests of the city’s storm in- frastructure since Hurricane Kat- rina devastated the region 14 sum- mers ago. That storm exposed major flaws in the flood defenses when its waters overtopped and breached numerous levees, leav- ing hundreds dead and flooding four-fifths of the city. Now, with some $20 billion in federal, state and local money spent on upgrading the city’s storm defenses and drainage, the nervous attention is on the levees along the river, which is expected to swell to historic highs on Satur- day, and on the dozens of massive pumps that the city relies on to flush water out of its streets. “This is the first time in history a hurricane will strike Louisiana while the Mississippi River is in flood stage,” Gov. John Bel Ed- wards of Louisiana said Friday, adding that he expected wide- spread power losses and some search-and-rescue missions. A “huge portion of southern Louisi- ana” is at risk, he said. Mr. Edwards activated 3,000 members of the National Guard, 1,100 of whom were deployed to New Orleans, where there was a storm surge warning. Flood warn- ings were in effect for Lafayette and Baton Rouge. Rain, said city and state offi- cials, will be the biggest threat from Barry. Up to 20 inches could fall in some places.
