The Senate confirmed a son of late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia as labor secretary Thursday afternoon.
Corporate litigator Eugene Scalia will succeed former Secretary Alex Acosta, who resigned on July 12 amid renewed criticism of a non-prosecution agreement he negotiated with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The 53-44 vote followed party lines.
Eugene Scalia’s service as labor secretary will be his second tour in the Department of Labor (DOL). He previously served as DOL solicitor, the agency’s top legal officer, under former President George W. Bush. He joined Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP, where he developed a practice representing large corporations including Walmart and Ford in labor disputes, after leaving government service.
