Some of the scandals revolved around the agency reportedly breaking immigration laws, which, in essence, defrauded the USA. In 2014, a Jamaican model, Alexia Palmer, sued TMM, claiming that she had been treated "like a slave" and received only $4,980 for 21 shoots spread across three years (via ABC News). She also alleged that TMM had fraudulently obtained a full-time work visa for her despite not meeting the criteria.

In addition to Alexia Palmer's payment disputes against Donald Trump and his modeling agency, other models came forward to reveal the shady business going on behind the scenes at TMM. Two Trump models interviewed by Business Insider told the publication that they were instructed to lie to immigration authorities about their professions. One of the models, who was 14 at the time, was reportedly forced to tell everyone that she was actually 15 in order to secure more modeling jobs.

As the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida in 2007–08, Acosta oversaw a federal investigation into possible sex trafficking crimes by financier Jeffrey Epstein that resulted in a non-prosecution agreement under which Epstein pleaded guilty to prostitution-related charges under Florida state law and received only a 13-month prison sentence. The agreement, which granted immunity from federal prosecution and extended immunity to potential co-conspirators, drew renewed scrutiny in 2019 after Epstein’s arrest in New York on federal sex trafficking charges. Acosta defended the agreement as a strategic decision to secure a conviction amid concerns about trial risk, but it was widely criticized as unusually lenient. Facing bipartisan criticism, Acosta resigned as Secretary of Labor in July 2019.[2]

After leaving public office, Acosta entered the private sector and in March 2025 joined the board of directors of Newsmax, where he chairs the audit committee.[

Reilly said he witnessed it firsthand.

"The first time I met him we were playing in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am [in the late 1980s]. He comes over and says, 'It's Rick Reilly, the greatest sportswriter in the world.' There's always an angle with Trump. Marla Marples was his wife then and she said, 'He's your biggest fan. Look!' She pulled one of my columns out of her purse like this is a set up. He wanted me to write a column about him but I had this idea of writing a book where I caddie for famous people. So we make a day for me to caddie for him but I turn up and he didn't have anybody to play with. So I played him. That was the day he took the only gimme chip in I've ever seen. A chip is a gimme? Trump's pretty good off the tee but he chips like Edward Scissorhands. He'll cheat you on the course and then buy you lunch."

He also made his thoughts on the club championship wins clear.

"He even said: 'This is against the best players in the club. No strokes given'. What? I played with you. You're a 10-handicapper at best. There's no way you're winning a club championship. I soon discovered many of them are senior championships for guys over 60 or 70. That's a nice honour but it's not within a par 5 of beating the club's best players. Lots of guys said he wasn't even in town when some championships were decided. He claimed to have won a tournament in New Jersey when he was actually in Philly. My dad would flip over three times in his grave and he was a Reagan Republican."
