Democrats most vocal about the Epstein files have been silent about money they took from a megadonor who had a longer-lasting relationship with the convicted sex offender than he initially acknowledged.

Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman hasdonatedtens of millions to Democratic causes, including campaigns for Democratic politicians who have relentlessly criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the files, such as Sen. Adam Schiff of California, Rep. Ro Khanna of California, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. New emails released by the Department of Justice reveal Hoffman kept in touch with Epstein years after he claimed contact ended.

Khanna, a co-sponsor of thebillthat forced the files’ release, has received $35,600 in campaign donations from Hoffman since 2011, including $7,000 in June 2025,accordingto Federal Election Commission (FEC) data.

KhannatoldPBS News on Feb. 10 that anyone who visited the island “needs to be investigated under oath.” He has not directly acknowledged Hoffman’s visit.

Some claims Khanna has made about aspects of Epstein’s case have been inaccurate. Hedescribedsix individuals on the House floor as “wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid,” though four of the men he named actually had no connection to Epstein, The Guardianreported.

“I appreciate @JSweetLI’s reporting confirming today that Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov, and Nicola Caputo were just part of a photo line up and are not connected to Epstein’s crimes,” Khannawroteon X after the story was published.

“I wish DOJ had provided that explanation earlier instead of redacting then unredacting their names,” he continued. “They have failed to protect survivors, created confusion for innocent men, and have protected rich and powerful abusers.”

Frustration has been mounting over the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files since Attorney General Pam Bondiclaimedin February 2025 that she had a “client list” on her desk. Days later, conservative influencers were handed binders at the White House containing little new information.

In July 2025, Axios published a memo from the DOJ and FBI stating there was no evidence Epstein was murdered or had a “client list.” Congress passed a bill in November compelling the DOJ to release records, leading the DOJ to make more documents public in December and February.

At the State of the Union, Khanna invited “Epstein survivor” HaleyRobsonto be hisguest. Robson recruited other girls for Epstein, oncetelling policeshe was like “a Heidi Fleiss,” who wasarrestedfor running a Hollywood prostitution ring in the 90s,accordingto CNN.
