While most convicted sex offenders in Florida are sent to state prison, Epstein was instead housed in a private wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade and, according to the sheriffs office, was after 3Y2 months allowed to leave the jail on "work release" for up to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. This contravened the sheriffs own policies requiring a maximum remaining sentence of 10 months and making sex offenders ineligible for the privilege. He was allowed to come and go outside of specified release hours. ag Epstein's cell door was left unlocked, and he had access to the attorney room where a television was installed for him, b€ifore he was moved to the Stockade's previously unstaffed infirmary. He worked at the office of a foundation he had created shortly before reporting to jail; he dissolved it after he had served his time. The Sheriffs Office received $128,000 from Epstein's non-profit to pay for the costs of extra services being provided during his work release. His office was monitored by "permit deputies" whose overtime was paid by Epstein. They were required to wear suits, and checked in "welcomed guests" at the "front desk". Later the Sheriffs Office said these guest logs were destroyed per the department's "records retention" rules (although inexplicably the Stockade visitor logs were not). 113 He was allowed to use his own driver to drive him between jail and his office and other appointme,nts.11221119 EFTA00263646 5,2=2, 1:11 pm-41 wouiCric-NT I TfiRCitailiqcmd;edi-jR,Gm p - cpsreiN cyese_R se-cokn-/ CLt Starting in spnng 2020, Trump began to sow doubts about the yNA election, claiming without evidence that the election would be rigged and that the expected widespread use of mail balloting would produce massive election fraudi§23N6241 In July Trump raised the idea of delaying the election.0-251 When in August the House of Representatives voted for a $25 billion grant to the U.S. Postal Service for the expected surge in mail voting, Trump blocked funding, saying he wanted to prevent any increase in voting by mail.L261 He repeatedly refused to say whether he would accept the results of the election and commit to a peaceful transition of ower if he lost.(627][§2131 Trump campaign advertisements focused on crime, claiming that cities would descend into lawlessness, if Biden won the presidency.L°29J Trump repeatedly misrepresented Biden's positionsiP3°)(6311 and shifted to appeals to racism.X1N Biden won the election on November 3, receiving 81.3 million votes (51.3 percent) to Trump's 74.2 million (46.8 percent)[633-]1KM. land 306 Electoral College votes to Trump's 232$351 Trump at a 2020 campaign rally in Arizona Claims of voting fraud, attempt to prevent presidential transition At 2 a.m. the morning after the election, with the :iv results still unclear, Trump declared victory.16 0 After Biden was projected the winner days later, ; Trump said, "this election is far from over" and 10ii .... . 1 • .. , . - 1 0 a ' in se baselessly alleged election fraud.0-3ZI Trump and his It allies filed many legal challenges to the results, which 9 W II& den were rejected by at least 86 judges in both the state IlTrump and federal courts, including by federal judges 4 appointed by Trump himself, finding no factual or 2020 Electoral College results, Trump lost 232- legal basis.1§1§116-391 Trump's unsubstantiated 306 allegations of widespread voting fraud were also refuted by state election officials VAN' After ItCybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (LISA) director Chris Krebs contradicted Trump's fraud allegations, Trump dismissed him on November 19. 6411 On December 11, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case from the Texas attorney general that asked the court to overturn the election results in four states won by Biden.C 1 Trump withdrew from public activities in the weeks following the election.V143,1 He initially blocked government officials from cooperating in Biden's presidential transitiogn 6-451 After three weeks, the administrator of the General Services Administration declared Biden the "apparent winner" of the election, allowing the disbursement of transition resources to his team.V1411' Trump still did not formally concede while claiming he recommended the GSA begin transition protocols.[W[648) The Electoral College fosimalized Biden's victory on December 14.1§-3,51 From November to January, Trump repeatedly sought help to overturn the results of the election, personally pressur~►►ng various Republican local and state office-holders,- Republican state and federal legislators,l69-a. the Justice Department,f§51) and Vice President PencePAN urging various actions such as replacing presidential electors, or a request for Georgia officials to "find" votes and announce a "recalculated" resultiM On February 10, 2021, Georgia prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into Trump's efforts to subvert the election in Georgia.Vslui htine•f /en wileinn.42 nmMnkilnnnalrt Tnimn EFTA00263647 "Nft C Nn -e-141U\-)61 f- C4 tCOMI N.)
