LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman funds Democratic PAC using Epstein-related ads

Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn co-founder who has been scrutinized for his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, gave a large donation to House Majority PAC, a major Democratic fundraising organization. The PAC has begun a wave of television and digital ads that accuse Republican lawmakers of protecting Epstein and obstructing transparency, focusing on the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act. One ad singled out Rep. Nick Begich of Alaska for voting against a procedural motion related to the act, though he later supported the legislation.

House Majority PAC has spent over half a million dollars on the Alaska ad and millions in other key districts, as shown by Federal Election Commission records and the ADMO tracking service. Republican officials have denounced the campaign as morally inconsistent, pointing to Hoffman’s documented interactions with Epstein, including visits to his island and private gifts. The PAC declined to comment on whether it was aware of Hoffman’s history when accepting the contribution.
