UPDATE: In a dramatic escalation, LinkedIn co-founder and prominent Democratic donor Reid Hoffman has challenged President Donald Trump to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files following Trump’s call for investigations into him and other Democrats linked to Epstein. Hoffman, with a net worth of approximately $2.5 billion, took to his official X account to demand transparency, stating, “I want this complete release because it will bring justice to the victims.”
This urgent development comes as Trump, earlier today, accused Hoffman, former President Bill Clinton, and others of having significant ties to Epstein. Trump claimed on his Truth Social platform, “This is another Russia, Russia, Russia scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats.” He cited records indicating that these individuals spent considerable time with Epstein, particularly on his infamous island.
Hoffman responded swiftly, asserting that the release of all Epstein-related documents would not only aid victims but also prove his innocence against what he termed “political persecution and slander.” In a series of posts, he emphasized, “I was never a client of Epstein’s and never had any engagement with him other than fundraising for MIT.”
Hoffman’s bold demand for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to disclose all files has ignited discussions on the implications of such a release. He stated, “I will do everything in my power going forward to advocate for the release of the files, to get justice for Epstein’s victims and to promote the values of truth our great country was founded on.”
As the situation intensifies, observers are keenly watching how the DOJ will respond to Hoffman’s call and Trump’s accusations. The political ramifications are significant, with both sides gearing up for a potential legal and public battle over the Epstein files. Hoffman concluded his thread with a resolute message: “I refuse to bend the knee to Donald Trump and his slanderous lies.”
This developing story raises critical questions about accountability and transparency in high-profile investigations. Stay tuned for more updates as this situation unfolds.
