A billionaire hedge fund manager, and registered sex offender, named Jeffrey Epstein has been donating money to the democratic party for decades.

Epstein, who is friends with Bill Clinton, donated more than $145,000 to Democratic PACs and other federal Democratic candidates from the early 1990s up until 2004. Bill Clinton being one of the recipients.

During this time he also donated $55,000 to Democrats John Kelly, Richard Gephardt, and other high-profile politicians.

His donations took a brief pause in 2004. At least the publicly reported donations did.

Epstein was caught with a little girl, and exposed as a sexual predator. The courts reported that between 2001 and 2005 Epstein was luring underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion and used them and exploiting them sexually.

The FBI reported Epstein had sexual intercourse with a minimum of 36 underage girls. He was given a really good plea deal only having to

plead guilty to two minor prostitution-related charges.

Epstein was sentenced to 13 months in the Palm Beach County stockade.

His donations to the democratic party started back up again in 2014.

he donated $2,600 to a candidate in Connecticut and gave $5,000 each to two different political groups that supported that candidate.

The two $5,000 donations violated federal contribution limits, but the Federal Election Commission decided to do anything about it.

During the 2014 elections Epstein donated $5,400 to the Democrat Stacey Plaskett, and then another $2,700 to Plaskett in 2018 for her reelection.

After the public started to notice the contributions he was making to the Democratic party the DCCC refunded Epstein a donation of $10,000.

The $10,000 donation is Epstein’s largest reported federal contribution to the Democratic party since he was released from prison.
