President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday called on LinkedIn co-founder and billionaire Democrat donor Reid Hoffman to be investigated over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and travels to the latter’s Little Saint James island—dubbed “Pedo Island.” The President’s remarks came during a White House Oval Office event with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, also known as MBS. Notably, Hoffman was a key donor and advisor to Kamala Harris’s failed presidential campaign.
Responding to a press question about deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and a House vote ordering the release of the federal government’s Epstein Files, Trump made reference to Hoffman—at first calling him a “creep fund guy.” The National Pulse has long pushed for a federal investigation into Hoffman and his ties to Epstein, along with his financial network benefiting Democratic Party candidates for years.
“That creep fund guy was with him all the time. What’s his name? Reid Hoffman. I don’t know Reid Hoffman, but I know he spends a lot of money on the radical left. Reid Hoffman, in my opinion, should be under investigation,” President Trump said. “He’s a sleaze bag, and those are the people, but they don’t get any press, they don’t get any news, and you’re not after the radical left because you’re a radical left network,” he added, before telling the questioner to “go back and learn how to be a reporter.”
Hoffman, who in recent years has become a sort of “mini” George Soros for the Democrats, was a key financial backer of fabulist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuits against President Trump. Additionally, Hoffman crossed party lines to back former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, in the hope that she could defeat or at least damage Trump. Hoffman has also funded numerous lawfare efforts against right-leaning entities, including underwriting Smartmatic’s defamation lawsuits against Fox News and Newsmax.
In addition to his lawfare and election efforts, Hoffman has also been exposed as one of the key donors behind the far-left website and social media influencer group, MeidasTouch Network. The National Pulse previously reported on how MeidasTouch—founded by the three Meiselas brothers, Ben, Brett, and Jordy—helped popularize the “bloodbath hoax” against President Trump in 2024.
