BREAKING: Reid Hoffman, the billionaire behind LinkedIn who’s now a megadonor to Democrats, has been quietly bankrolling E. Jean Carroll’s rape case against former President Donald Trump, according to court records filed Thursday.

, Hoffman’s distaste for Trump’s authoritarian and anti-democratic tendencies has even strained his personal relationship with another Silicon Valley staple, Peter Thiel, who has conversely fashioned himself as a bankroller of right-wing causes.

In a letter on Thursday morning, Trump’s legal team documented how Carroll at her Oct. 14 deposition claimed that no one else was paying for her lawyers—only to have those same lawyers suddenly inform them this Monday that they indeed had a mystery backer.

Meanwhile, Carroll’s attorney immediately filed a letter of her own that downplays the significance of the news. Roberta Kaplan explained that Carroll did indeed initiate the lawsuit on her own, but that the legal team found someone to fund the lawsuit much later.against Trump has absolutely no bearing on whether Trump sexually assaulted her in Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-1990s,” Kaplan wrote. “Funding obtained by counsel is not a proper topic for discovery, let alone a relevant issue at trial.

Yeah, we have a rich mega donor! Whoa!

Good. I'm glad that the VICTIM is getting help.

You guys lie about everything

A right wing mega donor is secretly bankrolling the Supreme Court.

So what?

Who is funding Devin Nunes' lawsuits?

So what ?

ProudDoggieMom So what?

Cool.

Whoa, one billionaire opposing Trump? Great. I guess it’s… not a secret then? Have you written about all of the domestic billionaires quietly supporting Trump?

ProudDoggieMom ❤️ thank-goodness. Who the hell cares if it’s legal. At least she didn’t create a shell company and lie to millions to raise money!

Trump related cases are being paid by Russian oligarchs, trump small donor monies. Super PACs and at one point the RNC....so there's that.

Excellent.

Thank you, Mr. Hoffman, for helping Ms. Carroll. Bill Barr made sure the American taxpayer is paying to defend the disgraced, twice impeached serial sexual predator.

Who bankrolled Paula Jones' lawsuit against president Clinton?

Bravo, Reid Hoffman.

👏👏👏👏

Where’s the harm? The ex-President’s a rapist, to go with all his other -ists.

Good for him! Thanks, Reid!

Democrats just circling like sharks for 10 years trying to get orange man. It’s truly fascinating the obsession and how they’ll stop at nothing to get him.

And? 🤷

Nice to know we have a few billionaires on the normal people side too

Thank you Reid Hoffman!

Thank you, Mr Hoffman!

So what?

& so begins the right’s canceling of LinkedIn

And?

More election interference by the Epstein client list deviants. Asov sniffers

Wow! Reid Hoffman is a slime ball. It's always some mega democrat that's paying to smear somebody.

So?

voteblue8888 Awesome. Thx.

Good. Shits expensive.

cool

ok... Good to know. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

so?

Good, it’s about time DEMs get some billionaire’s help. The GOP has been getting financial support from their wealthy donors for many, many years.

Cool story.

Good for him; next.

Cool! Good for him.

That’s nice of him. The law usually works in favor of wealthy rapists and molesters because they can afford to tie up courts with legal action. It’s good that a victim has resources.

So much for that secret.

Based. Thanks Hoff! 👍

So, not Soros?

And?

Your point?

Headline is a little misleading. Should say Trump’s legal team is alleging that this is what is happening. Your headline makes it sound more credible than it probably is.

So?

Love fairy Godfathers...

'Quietly'....😂 Like do the tip toe and whisper when they meet up?! 😆😂 Hope you have some REAL breaking news today.

Haha this is perfect! I’m behind anything that makes Trump angry….

This Reid Hoffman?

And? it is his money. Trump is asking donations from poor people and you dont give a shit?

Good for him. It helps a little to counter the crap that Thiel has been doing.

It’s accusation made by Trump so chances are very good it’s complete horse shit.

He's funding opposition to violence against women, that's certainly a noble cause.

Breaking: So what? Many witnesses in Trump-related cases have attorneys paid for by Trump entities.

This is what it look like when you do it legally. Huh

And

Oh, well. Turnabout is fair play.

ok

Cool

Haha
