Talarico, Ossoff Face Scrutiny Over $11.5 Million in Hoffman Donations as They Denounce 'Epstein Class'

Summary
$11.5 million from Reid Hoffman to a pro-Talarico super PAC and $7,000 to Jon Ossoff’s campaign have drawn scrutiny because both Democrats have attacked Republicans as the “Epstein class.”
Hoffman, LinkedIn’s co-founder, previously acknowledged spending a night on Jeffrey Epstein’s island and later apologized for helping repair Epstein’s reputation through fundraising activity.
James Talarico’s campaign said it cannot control super PAC donations under federal law and argued supporters are backing a candidate who would tax billionaires and curb their political influence.
The clash sharpens a broader vulnerability for Democrats who condemn billionaire money in politics while benefiting from major donors, especially in high-profile Senate races in Texas and Georgia.
