UPDATE: LinkedIn co-founder and Democratic donor Reid Hoffman is taking a stand against Donald Trump‘s recent accusations linking him to the late Jeffrey Epstein. In a series of fiery posts on his official X account, Hoffman demanded the release of all Epstein-related files, asserting that transparency is vital for justice.
Hoffman’s response comes just hours after Trump called for investigations into several high-profile Democrats, including Hoffman, citing their alleged connections to Epstein. Trump declared this effort a “Russia, Russia, Russia Scam,” claiming it shifts focus away from the Democrats involved.
In his posts, Hoffman stated, “I want this complete release because it will bring justice to the victims.” He emphasized that releasing the files would not only aid Epstein’s victims but also prove his own innocence. “I was never a client of Epstein’s and never had any engagement with him other than fundraising for MIT,” Hoffman clarified.
The urgent demand for the files highlights a growing tension in the political landscape as Trump seeks to redirect scrutiny. Hoffman accused Trump of using the investigation as a “political persecution and slander” tactic. He called on the Department of Justice to “simply release all the files, and expose the people who had both deep and ongoing relationships with Epstein.”
The implications of this back-and-forth are significant. Hoffman’s net worth is approximately $2.5 billion, and his influence as a donor in the Democratic Party makes his call for transparency particularly impactful. He concluded his thread with a vow to advocate for justice for Epstein’s victims and to uphold the values of truth that are foundational to the nation.
As this story develops, the public will be watching closely to see how the Department of Justice responds and whether further investigations will occur. Hoffman’s insistence on the release of the Epstein files could set a precedent for accountability among those previously associated with Epstein.
Stay tuned for more updates as this urgent situation unfolds.
