A billionaire Democratic megadonor on Friday defended his bankrolling of a rape lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, raising questions about why the accuser's attorneys are still trying to keep documents about the funding arrangement a secret and why the judge presiding over the case agreed to seal them.
Reid Hoffman, a founder and former executive chairman of LinkedIn, wrote in an online post that he's backing E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against Trump.
"While Trump's legal team has characterized my support of Carroll's lawsuit as 'secret,' I want to be clear that I've never taken any steps to hide the financial support that I have provided to this lawsuit after it started," wrote Hoffman. "Secondly, and more importantly, while media attention is focused on this specific story, let's not forget the overall point: the rule of law and the ideal that our courts are a mechanism of justice for all citizens, not just those with enough money and power to rig the game in their favor."
Carroll, a journalist and advice columnist, accused Trump of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store changing room in the 1990s. Trump denied the allegations and called Carroll a liar. In response, Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit against the former president that remains pending, and a battery lawsuit scheduled to begin trial next week in Manhattan federal court. Lawyers for Trump tried unsuccessfully to delay the case.
Hoffman wrote that in addition to Carroll, he's supported several other "grantees," listing other examples of litigation that he's backing.

Hoffman is a rich nutcase that needs to get off the sugar and carbs.
“”While Trump’s legal team has characterized my support of Carroll’s lawsuit as ‘secret,’ I want to be clear that I’ve never taken any steps to hide the financial support that I have provided to this lawsuit after it started,” wrote Hoffman.”

Why should he have He seems to have had a corrupt Judge to do that for him.
Carroll LIED about the source of her legal funding.
Either way-—this billionaire should be thrown to the wolves.
I had numerous invites to join LinkedIn. DIDN’T.
Already had all the business I could handle.
Have learned that group is NOT something I would have wanted to be associated with.
Why isn’t a lawyer taking your case on contingency?
Could you give us the names of the lawyers you contacted and the timeframes to the best of your ability.
Possibly an illegal campaign contribution?
“In June 2016, Microsoft announced that it would acquire LinkedIn for $196 a share, a total value of $26.2 billion, and the second largest acquisition made by Microsoft to date.”
“The company was founded in December 2002 by Reid Hoffman and the founding team members from PayPal and Socialnet.com (Allen Blue, Eric Ly, Jean-Luc Vaillant, Lee Hower, Konstantin Guericke, Stephen Beitzel, David Eves, Ian McNish, Yan Pujante, Chris Saccheri).[21] In late 2003, Sequoia Capital led the Series A investment in the company.”

“While at SocialNet, Hoffman was a member of the board of directors during the founding of PayPal, an electronic money transmission service. In January 2000, he left SocialNet and joined PayPal full-time as the company’s COO.[17] Allen Blue, whom Hoffman hired at PayPal, said that ‘PayPal had to scratch and claw for every advantage it had, and Reid became an expert at competing effectively in an extremely competitive environment.’ Hoffman was responsible for all external relationships for PayPal, including payments infrastructure (Visa, Mastercard, ACH, Wells Fargo), business development (eBay, Intuit, and others), government (regulatory, judicial), and legal. Peter Thiel, Hoffman’s boss at PayPal, has said that Hoffman ‘was the firefighter-in-chief at PayPal.’”
“In 2010 Hoffman joined Greylock Partners and made his first, early investment in AirBNB.”
“According to David Kirkpatrick’s book The Facebook Effect, Hoffman arranged the first meeting between Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel, which led to Thiel’s initial $500,000 angel investment in Facebook. Hoffman invested alongside Thiel in Facebook’s first financing round.”

See how much “Just-US” you can buy when you enough money and the connections?
It’s not a 2 tiered system it’s more of a sliding scale or even a matrix(one scale political pull the other money).
Another corrupt judge in action
Why is the Judge Sealing the Funding Documents.
Put him on a Lithium IV Drip and 100mg of Valium, and things will be just fine.
So we can't "follow the money". There might be some inconvenient names in the back trail ...
“judge seals funding docs“
Every legal issue Trump faces is always in front of a rat hack Judge every f’n time.
ANOTHER JEWISH DEMOCRAT that DESPISES Christian AMERICA!! WHY ELSE WOULD YOU WANT TO DESTROY IT?
I don't believe this is true. President Trump has faced many legal issues. All of the ones in front of normal judges have either settled or he has won. AND we do not hear about them in the news.
Only the ones that draw very biased RAT hack judges go on and on and they are the only ones of any interest to the mainstream news.
This particular one, I think they have a deposition of her claiming under oath that there was no outside financing and now there is clear evidence she was lying. Seems to me that calling her a liar was not defamation, but then I go on logic.
I guess it just seems that way.
Very few aren’t hack judges. The “profession” has lost all credibility.
Judge = failed lawyer.
The worst mob bosses retained attorney/client privilege.
I’ve lost track of how many times rat judges have compelled Trump’s lawyers to testify against him.
I also remember when Hillary and crew were in such hot water that they became each other’s lawyers to avoid testifying against one another and the Hildebeast.
Given what the system can do to Trump, it is no wonder that J6 political prisoners still rot in a DC gulag. Their “freedom” consists of extended time in prison.
I wish there was a way to scrub my posts to FR. Should the rats steal 2024 like they did 2020 and 2022, every Freeper will be in jeopardy.
... says the billionaire handing big money to a plaintiff to try to bring down Donald Trump.
