House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has come under scrutiny following revelations that he sought financial support from the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein.
This request, made in 2013, has emerged from a recent batch of documents linked to Epstein, shedding light on the connections between political figures and the disgraced individual.
According to The Post Millennial, the solicitation was made through a firm representing Jeffries, which reached out to Epstein via email. The correspondence stated, "We are thrilled to announce that we are working with Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation.
Sometimes referred to as 'Brooklyn's Barack', he is a staunch supporter of President Obama and a progressive voice for the people of New York City." The email aimed to organize a dinner involving Jeffries and Epstein, despite Epstein's status as a convicted sex offender at the time.
The firm's representatives encouraged Epstein's involvement, writing, Shoot us an email or give us a call if you would like to get involved with the dinner, or would like to get an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better. He is an impressive guy and who will be a progressive voice for New York politics for years to come.
This revelation has surfaced amid ongoing efforts to disclose more of Epstein's files and his communications with government officials and others implicated in his criminal activities.
Jeffries has publicly advocated for the full release of all documents related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein's sex trafficking operations. As the push for transparency continues, questions about the extent of Epstein's influence and connections remain at the forefront of public discourse.
