Hakeem Jeffries’ Firm Solicited Jeffrey Epstein After 2013 Conviction
“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.”
“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,” representatives of the firm wrote. “He is an impressive guy and who will be a progressive voice for New York politics for years to come.”
The man being sold in that gushing email, pitched as a can’t-miss political investment, was none other than current House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. And the recipient? The infamous, disgraced, and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
And let’s get one thing straight about the timeline. This solicitation wasn’t made in some bygone era before Epstein’s monstrous crimes were known. The email was sent in 2013, a full five years after Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring an underage girl for prostitution and was registered as a sex offender. His depravity was a matter of public record.
For anyone with a functioning moral compass, association with such a figure would be unthinkable. Yet, for Jeffries’ camp, the prospect of cashing a check from a predator was apparently an acceptable cost of doing business. The audacity is almost impressive. The email’s language, praising Jeffries as “Brooklyn’s Barack,” reveals the cynical nature of the game. They weren’t just asking for money; they were selling access to a so-called “progressive voice,” using the language of hope to court a man who preyed on the vulnerable.
What makes this revelation all the more galling is Jeffries’ recent public posturing. In the past few days, he has been on a media tour, sanctimoniously demanding the release of all files related to Epstein and his network. He has presented himself as a champion of transparency, a crusader for justice.
Does this man have no shame? How can a politician who allowed his own team to solicit a convicted child sex offender possibly lecture anyone on accountability? This is the very definition of liberal hypocrisy. He wants transparency for everyone but himself. The American people are now left with some serious questions. Did Epstein ever respond? Did his tainted money ever find its way into Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign? As the GOP Oversight Committee rightly asked, “Is ‘Brooklyn’s Barack’ telling us everything he knows?”
And if you think this is just a one-off mistake, you haven’t been paying attention. This is straight from the Democrat playbook. As the Oversight Committee also pointed out, Jeffries has refused to condemn his Democratic colleague, Del. Stacey Plaskett, for her own questionable communications with Epstein. They circle the wagons to protect their own, no matter the offense.
