Lightfoot also received criticism in August for celebrating crowds of hundreds of people gathering in the street to protest while criticizing others who had gathered at a beach.
The mayor posted a photo August 8 of a group of people gathered on a beach. “It’s called a pandemic, people,” Lightfoot said. “This reckless behavior on Montrose Beach is what will cause us to shut down the parks and lakefront. Don’t make us take steps backwards.”

Lightfoot said in July that she supported people gathering in crowds to protest for Black Lives Matter.
“Hundreds took to the streets yesterday to express their First Amendment right to protest,” she said. “I unequivocally support and will always fight for the rights of individuals to peacefully protest on any issue.”

A Department of Justice report released Thursday found “poor judgment” but no “misconduct” in former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta’s decision to scrap an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking.
The report suggests that Acosta’s actions “created the misimpression” that the DOJ sought to “silence the victims” and that Acosta “failed to ensure that victims were treated with forthrightness and dignity.”
The DOJ “concludes that the subjects did not commit professional misconduct with respect to the development, negotiation, and approval of the [non-prosecution agreement],” the report said.
The Department of Justice found “poor judgement” but no “misconduct” in former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta’s decision to scrap an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking, according to a report released Thursday.
The DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) released an executive summary of the report, which said Acosta “exercised poor judgment” by failing to make sure that the state would notify Epstein’s victims about the non-prosecution agreement (NPA). The NPA was “an important proceeding that resolved the federal investigation,” according to the report.
Acosta’s actions “created the misimpression” that the DOJ sought to “silence the victims,” according to the report, and Acosta “failed to ensure that victims were treated with forthrightness and dignity.” (RELATED: ‘Disgusting Failure’: Sasse Slams DOJ Investigation Into Epstein’s Sweetheart Deal)

It added that “OPR found no clear and unambiguous standard that required Acosta to indict Epstein on federal charges or that prohibited his decision to defer prosecution to the state.”
“Furthermore, none of the individual terms of the NPA violated Department or other applicable standards,” the report continued.
Florida’s Palm Beach Police Department brought a case involving a 14-year-old girl giving Epstein a massage before the State Attorney’s Office, according to the report. A Palm Beach County grand jury indicted Epstein for felony solicitation of prostitution on July 19, 2006.

A viral Instagram post purportedly shows ballots cast for President Donald Trump torn up and thrown in the trash in Oklahoma.
Verdict: False
The video shows spoiled ballots upon which voters had mistakenly marked two candidates for the same race, according to the Oklahoma State Election Board. The spoiled ballots were disposed with the voter’s consent prior to being issued a new ballot.
Fact Check:
The Instagram post claims it shows “proof of trashed ballots” and says it is the “moral obligation” of “Christian’s (sic) and Americans to share!” The video features two men going through a bag full of ballots allegedly discarded at St. Anne Church, identified by them as a polling place in Oklahoma for the Nov. 3 presidential election. The men in the video claim they stumbled upon the ballots when they were taking out the trash after attending a wedding at the church.
However, the Oklahoma State Election Board debunked the video in a Twitter thread, identifying them as spoiled ballots “where the voter mistakenly marked more than one option in a race.” The pictured ballots are not evidence of election fraud.
FACT CHECK: This video is from pct 469 / subpct 457 in Tulsa County. These are clearly “spoiled ballots” where the voter mistakenly marked more than one option in a race. Spoiled ballots are returned to the precinct clerk and destroyed, then the voter is issued a new ballot. — Oklahoma State Election Board (@OKelections) November 9, 2020
The second tweet in the Oklahoma State Election Board’s thread features four images that provide evidence the ballots had been spoiled, including photos with circles indicating where they were incorrectly marked. It also shows a redacted Spoiled Ballot Affidavit signed by voters acknowledging that their ballots were spoiled and destroyed in their presence before receiving a new one.

We also are posting a redacted Spoiled Ballot Affidavit signed by voters before their spoiled ballots were destroyed. pic.twitter.com/EnklPRN81l — Oklahoma State Election Board (@OKelections) November 9, 2020
The Oklahoma State Election Board also provided a link to the relevant state statute dictating how election officials handle spoiled ballots. The statute states: “Should a voter spoil any ballot in an effort to vote the same, the voter shall fold the ballot and return it to the clerk. The clerk shall destroy the ballot in the presence of the voter and shall issue the voter another ballot in the same manner that the first one was provided. The voter must execute an affidavit prescribed by the Secretary of the State Election Board in which the voter swears or affirms that he or she spoiled the original ballot, returned the ballot to the clerk, that the clerk destroyed the ballot in the voter’s presence and that the voter was issued a new ballot.”
