Today, the Revolving Door Project published “Epsteiners,” a website cataloguing the closest associates of the notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in law, technology, finance, and politics.
From Reid Hoffman to Elon Musk, and from Brad Karp to Sergey Brin, Epstein maintained close connections with powerful megadonors allied with both the Republican and Democratic parties. If a future Presidential administration hopes to clean up the mess left by the second Trump administration, it must not allow these individuals and their aides to dictate the path forward.
For the release of the Epsteiner project, Revolving Door Project Executive Director, Jeff Hauser released the following statement:
“Reid Hoffman, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin–so many close associates of Jeffrey Epstein retain influence in one or both of our dominant political parties despite the broader American people being disgusted at how elites look after their fellow elites. The biggest void in American politics right now is a political movement genuinely committed to policing elites regardless of their wealth or partisan affiliation. The .1% percent demonstrate class solidarity every day–it’s about time that the other 99.9% do the same.”
Revolving Door Project Deputy Research Director Christopher Lewis added:
“Since the release of the Epstein files, we have learned the extent to which many of the largest backers in the Democratic Party were involved with renowned sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats (rightfully) campaigned for months to release the files. Now that Americans have them, will party leaders abandon major Democratic powerplayers like Kathy Ruemmler and Brad Karp, or will they return to business as usual?”
“While they cannot hold Epstein himself accountable, Democrats should consider it a black mark upon one’s public record to have defended and befriended this villain, especially after he had plead guilty in 2008 to indefensible acts. Anyone who maintained or developed ties to Epstein should be shunned, rather than rewarded with prominence in government or politics,” Lewis concluded.
Journalists interested in learning more about the site are encouraged to email Deputy Research Director Christopher Lewis at lewis@therevolvingdoorproject.org.
