亿万富翁、领英联合创始人里德·霍夫曼因与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关系而受到关注，根据上周公布的联邦选举委员会文件，他是民主党关键筹款组织“众议院多数党政治行动委员会”（HMP）的最大捐赠者之一，而该组织目前正利用以爱泼斯坦为主题的广告攻击共和党候选人。
Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn who has faced scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, was among the largest donors to House Majority PAC, a key Democratic fundraising group that is now using Epstein-themed ads to target GOP candidates, according to Federal Election Commission filings released last week.
随着选举日临近，HMP 近几周开始大举投入资金，主张共和党未能兑现承诺，推动公开爱泼斯坦儿童性贩运活动的相关信息，以及他是否为他人提供非法性交易便利。文件未显示具体哪位捐赠者的资金用于特定广告，但霍夫曼的捐款正值 HMP 在距离选举之夜仅两周时加大在爱泼斯坦主题广告上的投入之际。
In recent weeks, HMP has begun spending heavily as Election Day nears, pressing the case that Republicans have failed to make good on promises to bring transparency to Epstein’s child sex trafficking activities and whether he facilitated illegal sexual encounters for others. The filings do not identify which donor funds were used for specific s, but Hoffman’s contribution came as HMP ramped up spending on Epstein- focused ads just two weeks ahead of election night.
在其中一项广告活动中，HMP 针对阿拉斯加州共和党众议员尼克·贝吉奇，攻击他曾投票反对一项本可推动《爱泼斯坦档案透明法案》进入审议程序的程序性动议。贝吉奇后来投票支持该法案，该法案以近乎一致的票数通过。
In one such campaign, HMP targeted Rep. Nick Begich, R-Alaska, over his vote against a procedural motion that would have advanced consideration of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Begich later voted in favor of the legislation, which passed with near-unanimous support.
广告称：“杰弗里·爱泼斯坦是如何隐瞒真相的？他受到精英阶层的庇护——像尼克·贝吉奇这样的精英。贝吉奇投票反对公开爱泼斯坦档案，试图掩盖真相。阿拉斯加人需要的是更关心降低生活成本、而不是保护强奸犯的人。”
"How did Jeffrey Epstein hide it? He was protected by the elites — elites like Nick Begich. Begich voted against releasing the Epstein Files, trying to hide the truth. Alaskans need someone who cares more about bringing down costs than protecting a rapist," the ad claims.
该立法于 2025 年 11 月生效，要求司法部公开与爱泼斯坦相关的记录，但保留了一些保护措施以隐瞒其受害者身份。
The legislation, which became law in November 2025, requires the Justice Department to release records related to Epstein, with some protections to conceal the identity of his victims.
根据联邦选举委员会记录，HMP 在该广告活动上花费了 54.33 万美元。
HMP has spent $543,300 on the ad campaign, according to FEC records.
但该组织也在多个其他关键摇摆州的选区投放广告，根据广告追踪服务 ADMO 的数据，所有广告均在过去一周内推出：在爱荷华州第二国会选区花费 48 万美元，在宾夕法尼亚州第一国会选区花费 206 万美元，在亚利桑那州第二国会选区花费 55.015 万美元，在宾夕法尼亚州第八国会选区花费 62.8 万美元。
But the group has also targeted races in a number of other battleground states, spending $ 480,000 in Iowa’s Second Congressional District, $ 2.06 million in Pennsylvania’s 1st District, $550,150 in Arizona’s 2nd District and $628,000 in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District. All the ads launched within the past week, according to ADMO, an advertising- tracking service.
至少有一名共和党人认为，霍夫曼与爱泼斯坦的关系使得他的捐款——以及HMP针对爱泼斯坦的广告——显得虚伪。
At least one Republican argued that Hoffman’s ties to Epstein made his contribution — and HMP’s Epstein-focused ads — hypocritical.
“民主党人对金钱介入政治毫无异议，只要这有利于他们自己的竞选，哪怕钱来自像里德·霍夫曼这样经认证的变态狂，他在爱泼斯坦被定罪后仍与其保持关系，”共和党全国委员会（RNC）发言人娜塔莉·巴尔达萨雷在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说。
"Democrats have no problem with money in politics so long as it benefits their own campaign, even if it comes from certified perverts like Reid Hoffman who maintained a relationship with Epstein after his conviction," Natalie Baldassarre, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee (RNC), said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“当权力和金钱摆在面前时，民主党人毫无道德底线，他们会从任何愿意开支票的人那里同时拿走这两样东西。”多年来，爱泼斯坦和霍夫曼互通书信、互赠礼物。他们还曾帮助为麻省理工学院媒体实验室筹集资金。根据司法部公开的“爱泼斯坦档案”库中的记录，霍夫曼曾随爱泼斯坦前往其私人岛屿，并到访过他在纽约的住所。在一封2014年平安夜发出的电子邮件中，霍夫曼告诉爱泼斯坦，他已寄给对方一对礼物。
"Democrats have no morals when power and money are on the line, and they’ll take both from anyone willing to write a check." For many years, Epstein and Hoffman exchanged correspondence and gifts. They also helped raise money for MIT’s Media Lab. According to records made public through the DOJ’s Epstein Files library, Hoffman joined Epstein at his private island and visited him at his residence in New York. In one email, sent on Christmas Eve in 2014, Hoffman told Epstein he had sent him a pair of gifts.
“已寄两件礼物至纽约地址。1——冰淇淋。如果你有兴趣，可以尝一下——[否则]留给女孩们。2——岛上可能让你会心一笑的东西，”霍夫曼写道，指的是一尊冲浪者雕像。
"Sent you two gifts to NYC addie. 1 - Ice cream. If you have any interest, you should try — [or] else for the girls. 2 – something that may strike your funny bone for the island," Hoffman wrote, referring to a surfer statue.
霍夫曼多次否认有不当行为，2019年对《华尔街日报》表示，他后悔在爱泼斯坦2008年因招嫖未成年人罪名成立后，仍继续与其来往。
Hoffman has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, telling The Wall Street Journal in 2019 that he regretted continuing their relationship after Epstein was convicted in 2008 on charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
“我与爱泼斯坦的最后一次互动是在2015年。尽管如此，只要我同意参加爱泼斯坦在场的任何筹款活动，我就帮助修复了他的名声并延续了不公，”霍夫曼2019年说。“为此，我深感懊悔。”
"My last interaction with Epstein was in 2015. Still, by agreeing to participate in any fundraising activity where Epstein was present, I helped to repair his reputation and perpetuate injustice," Hoffman said in 2019. "For this, I am deeply regretful."
福克斯新闻数字频道引用的记录中，并无指控霍夫曼参与了爱泼斯坦的性贩运罪行。
There is no allegation in the records cited by Fox News Digital that Hoffman participated in Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes.
Fox News Digital 询问 HMP 在接受霍夫曼捐款时是否知晓他与爱泼斯坦的过往关系，以及该组织是否认为这笔捐款与其关于爱泼斯坦的宣传口径一致。
Fox News Digital asked HMP whether it was aware of Hoffman’s past relationship with Epstein when it accepted his contribution and whether the group considers his donation consistent with its messaging about Epstein.
Fox News Digital 联系了霍夫曼的代表，但未收到回复。
Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Hoffman but did not receive a response.
