“I’ve called each of our new employees into my office on the day they are hired, and told them their job is to do justice,” Acosta told Fox News. “Their job is not to win at all costs.”

Acosta also oversaw the case against UBS, a Switzerland bank which was accused of helping Americans evade taxes. The bank paid a $780 million settlement and agreed to hand over the names of some of their clients, according to The Washington Post.

In 2011, Acosta testified before Congress about the importance of protecting the civil rights of Muslim Americans. He said to the committee that “we are a nation build [sic] on principles of freedom, and high on the list of freedoms is freedom of religious expression. Indeed, as is well known to this Committee, this freedom pre-dates our Constitution.”

45's first Hispanic selection, I believe.

Will he take questions from non-right wing news organizations?

Will he take any questions at all?
