Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, currently facing a challenging re-election campaign, has introduced a striking new term into the political lexicon: the “Epstein Class.” This phrase is Ossoff’s way of highlighting the influence of wealthy elites who, he claims, have managed to evade political accountability. As he gears up for the 2026 Senate race, this concept has become a cornerstone of his campaign message.

At a recent rally, Ossoff addressed his supporters with a direct message. “We were led to believe that MAGA was about the working class,” he declared. “Yet, what we see is a government operated by and for the ultra-wealthy. This is the richest Cabinet ever, effectively the Epstein class, steering our nation.”

Ossoff continued his critique by pointing out the hypocrisy he perceives among these elites, stating, “They are the very elites they claim to despise.” He then accused the former President Donald Trump of prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires like George Soros and Elon Musk over essential services, such as rural hospitals.

Interestingly, both George Soros and his son Alex are significant donors to Ossoff’s campaign. It’s also worth noting that George Soros’s name appeared in the infamous Epstein files, a connection that adds complexity to Ossoff’s arguments.

Epstein-linked donors tied to Ossoff campaign funding

According to Federal Election Commission records, Ossoff’s campaign has received contributions exceeding $100,000 from individuals listed in the Epstein files, spread across his various campaign accounts. This financial support has not gone unnoticed as Ossoff continues to navigate the intricate dynamics of political alliances and public perception.

Federal Election Commission records reveal that Ossoff has received over $100,000 from individuals named in the Epstein files between his various campaign accounts.

In essence, part of that very Epstein class he decries is funding his bid for another term in power – which could become an issue for him in his re-election campaign.   

The state’s senior senator, at just 39, Ossoff faces one of the toughest reelection maps in the country. The Cook Political Report has labelled him the ‘most endangered incumbent’ of the cycle – a line his own campaign has been running in Google display ads.

Ossoff’s barrage of attacks on the ‘Epstein Class’ has driven much of his national profile, including during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. 

Reid Hoffman and Soros family among Ossoff’s major donors

Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted [child predator], reportedly died in jail by [killing himself] in 2019. 

The appearance of an individual’s name in the files is not necessarily evidence of wrongdoing. 

LinkedIn founder and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman has given Ossoff $27,864 dollars between his 2020 and 2026 campaigns.

Hoffman appears in the files at least 2,619 times, per a Daily Mail analysis. 

Billionaire Democrat donors George Soros, and his son, Alex, have given Ossoff $20,600 dollars each, for a total of over $40,000 in contributions.

In an FBI victim statement, George Soros was said to have been on a yacht with Epstein, in which he witnessed the victim being [sexually assaulted], in a heavily drug-induced state, with the bottoms of his feet being slashed.

Tech billionaires connected to Epstein files donate to Ossoff

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend who was involved in many aspects of his life and business, noted in an interview conducted by the US Department of Justice, ‘I don’t think he knew him,’ when asked about a relationship between Epstein and Soros.

Laurene Powell-Jobs, the owner of the Atlantic, who has been pictured with Maxwell, gave Ossoff $8,200, split between his 2020 Senate race, as well as a prior 2017 contribution during his election for the US House of Representatives.

Eric Schmidt, a top advisor to Google and Youtube’s parent company Alphabet Inc, gave $10,667 to Ossoff.

In a 2013 email from an apparent mutual contact of both Epstein and Schmidt, Todd Meister, the writer notes to Epstein that ‘Schmidt was blown away by’ him ‘in a positive way.’

John Doerr, an early tech investor and California-based venture capitalist, has made two contributions of $3,500 to Ossoff’s 2026 campaign, for a total of $7,000.

Doerr was listed on email chains with Epstein from John Brockman, who hosted events with ‘sumptuous dinners [and] exclusive conferences… for the rich, the smart, and the powerful,’ per the Department of Justice.

Jeffrey Dean, now a Senior Fellow at Google, has contributed $7,650 to Ossoff. Dean was mentioned in the Epstein files as someone Jeffrey should meet and was described as an ‘interesting’ person.

Renowned Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg gave $5,600 to Ossoff’s 2020 campaign.

In a 2011 Cannes Diary for the Huffington Post, Epstein’s publicist Peggy Siegal said that ‘a gang of young people’ came off of Steven Spielberg’s ‘new yacht’ at two o’clock in the morning.

Other individuals named in the files and who have also donated to Ossoff include businessman Sidney Kimmel, real estate mogul and venture capitalist Nick Pritzker, architect, philanthropist, and medical technology heir Jon Stryker, hedge fund leader David Shaw, former CEO of DreamWorks Animation Jeffrey Katzenberg, billionaire heiress Katharine Rayner, and former Democrat Senator George Mitchell, who Epstein once described as a ‘very close friend.’

Epstein-connected billionaire, Pierre Omidyar, gave $355,000 from the Omidyar Network Fund, Inc. to Insight TWI, an investigative news company formerly headed by Jon Ossoff.

As early as 2004, Omidyar attended John Brockman’s annual Edge Billionaire’s Dinner with Epstein. 

From 2010 to 2013, Omidyar was on email chains with Epstein from John Brockman, who hosted events with ‘sumptuous dinners [and] exclusive conferences… for the rich, the smart, and the powerful.’ 

The Ossoff campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the Daily Mail.
