In December 2014, Epstein arranged for Hoffman made arrangements for Hoffman to stay at his New York townhouse after he caught a late flight into the city. There was a planned breakfast party the next day to be attended by Epstein, Hoffman, Bill Gates, and others. Hoffman told the Wall Street Journal that he had visited Orgy Island only once for a fundraiser. That’s his story and he is sticking to it. Yeah. That is the ticket. Hoffman says his last contact with Epstein was in 2015. Epstein’s island was where he would take underage girls and he would abuse them, along with his guests.
A longtime Democratic donor, Hoffman was one of the party’s largest funders in the 2020 and 2022 election cycles, according to nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog OpenSecrets. He spent more than $15 million supporting Democrats in 2022 and $14.5 million in 2020, OpenSecrets found.
Hoffman built a big-money fundraising machine to defeat then-President Donald Trump, Vox reported in 2020. He built a large Silicon Valley fundraising network to aid the party and reportedly looked into what a donor could do to assist the party with collecting mail-in ballots.
Before that, Hoffman funded online disinformation campaigns aimed at conservative voters. He apologized to the New York Times in 2018 for financing a project by tech firm New Knowledge to create fake online personas designed to influence conservatives in the 2017 Alabama Senate special election. He funded a similar project in 2018 to create misleading Facebook advertisements to suppress Republican voter turnout ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Additionally, Hoffman is funding journalist E. Jean Carroll’s ongoing rape lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, and told podcaster Kara Swisher he would “spend as much as I possibly can” to destroy Trump.
The Journal reports:
The documents reveal that Epstein had plans for Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Ito to visit his private island in March 2014 and in November 2014. On the second date, Epstein planned to travel with both men from Palm Beach to the island for a weekend and then fly together to Boston. [Emphasis added]
When the venture capitalist had a flight scheduled to land late at night in New York on Dec. 4, 2014, Epstein arranged for Mr. Hoffman to stay overnight in his townhouse, the documents show. The following morning, Mr. Hoffman was scheduled to attend a “breakfast party” with Epstein, Mr. Gates and others, according to the documents. [Emphasis added]
Hoffman said:
“It gnaws at me that, by lending my association, I helped his reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors. While I relied on MIT’s endorsement, ultimately I made the mistake and I am sorry for my personal misjudgment.”
I suspect Hoffman is only sorry that he got caught.
