Most Vocal Democrats Silent On Donations From Epstein-Linked Billionaire Democrats who have been most vocal about the Epstein files have remained quiet about their financial ties to Reid Hoffman, a billionaire LinkedIn co-founder who maintained contact with the convicted sex offender long after publicly claiming their relationship had ended. Hoffman, who has donated tens of millions to Democratic causes, has supported politicians who have criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein case, including Sen. Adam Schiff, Rep. Ro Khanna, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. New emails released by the Department of Justice reveal Hoffman stayed in touch with Epstein years after he initially stated their connection had ended. Khanna, a co-sponsor of the bill that forced the release of Epstein’s files, has received $35,600 in campaign donations from Hoffman since 2011, including $7,000 in June 2025, according to FEC records. Khanna told PBS News in February that anyone who visited Epstein’s island “needs to be investigated under oath,” though he has not directly acknowledged Hoffman’s visit. However, some of Khanna’s claims about the Epstein case have been inaccurate. He described six individuals on the House floor as “wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid,” but The Guardian reported that four of the men he named had no connection to Epstein. Khanna criticized the DOJ for failing to protect survivors and for creating confusion about Epstein’s alleged activities. Frustration over the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files has grown since Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed in February 2025 she had a “client list” on her desk. Conservative influencers were later handed binders at the White House with little new information.#adam_schiff #pam_bondi #hakeem_jeffries #reid_hoffman #ro_khanna
Jeffrey Epstein's Ties to Microsoft Executives Unveiled For over two decades, the convicted sex offender cultivated a network within Microsoft, gaining access to high-level discussions about the company’s leadership and operations. This connection, detailed in newly released Justice Department documents, reveals how Epstein leveraged his relationships to stay informed about Microsoft’s internal dynamics during a period of significant turmoil. In 2011, Microsoft faced mounting challenges. The company had failed to capitalize on the smartphone and internet search markets, and CEO Steve Ballmer was under pressure from investors. Rumors of a potential leadership change circulated, and Epstein became deeply involved in the process. According to the documents, he received regular updates from insiders about the search for a new CEO and offered strategic advice, though the extent of his influence remains unclear. A 2011 email from a confidant to Epstein described the situation as “the plot thickens,” noting delays in the search and speculation that co-founder Bill Gates might return to the company for a limited period. Epstein’s ability to penetrate Microsoft’s inner circles was notable compared to his efforts with other corporations. The documents show he spent over a decade building relationships with key figures, including Gates, Nathan Myhrvold, Steven Sinofsky, Linda Stone, Reid Hoffman, and employees of Gates’s personal investment and charity funds. These connections were critical to his efforts to reintegrate into society after his 2009 release from prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor. While some of these executives have left Microsoft, others remain in influential roles.#microsoft #jeffrey_epstein #bill_gates #steve_ballmer #reid_hoffman
