the same time, he also met with President Clinton's aide Mark Middleton on at least three

Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
Accounts differ on when Maxwell first met American financier Jeffrey
Eckstein. According to Epstein's former business partner, Steven
Hoffenbe , Robert Maxwell introduced his daughter to Epstein in the
late 1980s. 491 The Times reported that Maxwell met Epstein in the
early 1990s at a New York party following "a difficult break-up with
Count Gianfranco Cicogna Mozzoni" (1962-2012) of the CIGA Hotels
clan.L521
Maxwell had a romantic relationship with Epstein for several years in
the early 199os and remained closely associated with him for more
than 25 years until his death in 2019,L(! ]15t] The nature of their
relationship remains unclear. In a 2009 deposition, several of 2006 mugshot of Epstein,
Epstein's household employees testified that Epstein referred to her as by Palm Beach Oouri
his "main girlfriend" who also hired, fired, and supervised his staff, Sheriffs Office
starling around 1992.15a1 She has also been wren ed to as the "Lady of
the House" by Epstein's staff and as his "aggressive assistant".154 In a
2003 Vanity Fair profile on Epstein, author Vicky Ward said Epstein referred to Maxwell as "my
best friend". Ward also observed that Maxwell seemed "to organize much of his life".lati
Politico reported that Maxwell and Epstein had friendships with several prominent individuals in
elite circles of politics, academia, business and law, including former Presidents Donald TrLunp
and Bill Clinton, attorney Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew, Duke of Yorls.fal
Maxwell is known for her longstanding friendship[56) with Prince Andrew, and for having escorted
him to a "hookers and pimps" social function in NT!! York.152/ She introduced Epstein to Prince
Andrew, and the three often socialised together. In 2000, Maxwell and Epstein attended a
party thrown by Prince Andrew at the Queen's Sandringham House estate in Norfolk, England,
reportedly for Maxwell's 39th birthday.(591 In a November 2019 interview with the BBC, Prince
Andrew confirmed that Maxwell and Epstein had attended an event at his invitation, but he denied
that it was anything more than a "straightforward shooting weekend".[6°1
In 1995, Epstein renamed one of his companies the Ghislaine Corporation; based in Palm Beach,
Florida, the company was dissolved in 1998.E As a trained helicopter pilot, Maxwell also
transported Epstein to his private Caribbean island. ./ el
In iota Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution and served 13 months of an
18-month jail sentence. Following Epstein's release, although Maxwell continued to attend
prominent social functions, she and Epstein were no longer seen together publicly.(9-1
By late 2015, Maxwell had largely retreated from attending social functions.(2114-1

names a number of electors equal to its representation in Congress and (in most states) all

Trump appointed three justices to the Supreme Court: Neil
Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Cony Barrett. In 2016,
Senate Republicans had taken the unprecedented step of
refusing to consider Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland
to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia in
February 2016, arguing that the seat should not be filled in an
election year. Gorsuch was confirmed to the seat in 2017 in a
mostly marry-line vote of 54-45, after Republicans invoked the -
"nuclear option" (a historic change to Senate rules removing Trump and his third Supreme Court

nominations) to defeat a Democratic ffiibuster.1458 3 Trump
nominated Kavanaugh in 2018 to replace retiring Justice
AnthontKennedy; the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh in a mostly party-line vote of 50-48, after a
bitter confirmation battle centered on Christine Blasey Ford's allegation that Kavanaugh had
attempted to rape her when they were teenagers, which Kavanaugh denied.E45-9] Five weeks before
the November.2020 election, Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy left by the
death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Eight days before the election, after 6o million Americans
had already voted, Senate Republicans confirmed Barrett to the Supreme Court without any
Democratic votes. Many observers strongly criticized the confirmation, arguing that it was a gross
violation of the precedent Republicans set in 2o16.146131
As president, Trump disparaged courts and judges whom he disagreed with, often in personal
terms, and questioned the judiciary's constitutional authority. Trump's attacks on the courts have
drawn rebukes from observers, including sitting federal judges, who are concerned about the effect
of Trump's statements on the judicial independence and public confidence in the
judiciary.[_46i1[462]1463)
COVID-19 pandemic
In December 2019, COVID-19 erupted in Wuhan, China; the SARS-CoV-2 virus spread worldwide
within weeks„(4 4653 The first confirmed case in the U.S. was reported on January 20, 2020.[4667
The outbreak was officially declared a public health emergency by Health and Human Services
(HHS) Secretary Alex Azar on January 31, 2020.14671 --
Trump's public statements on COVID-19 were at odds with his private statements. In February
2020 Trump publicly asserted that the outbreak in the U.S. was less deadly than influenza, was
"very much under control", and would soon be over.L46 -A At the same time he acknowledged the
opposite in a private conversation with Bob Woodward. In March 2020, Trump privately told
Woodward that he was deliberately "playing it down" in public so as not to create panie.(469)[47o1
Initial response
Trump was slow to address the spread of the disease, initially dismissing the imminent threat and
ignoring persistent public health warnings and calls for action from health officials within his
administration and Seetetary Azarj471][472] Instead, throughout January and February he focused
on economic and political considerations of the outbreak.L4721 By mid-March, most global financial
markets had severely contracted in response to the emerging pandemie$474/ Trump continued to
claim that a vaccine was months away, although HHS and Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) officials had repeatedly told him that vaccine development would take 12-18
months.r4751 Trump also falsely claimed that "anybody that wants a test can get a test," despite the
availability of tests being severely limited.
