Jake Johnson for Congress

PRESS RELEASE

Yesterday, Jake called for prison for Epstein Files abusers. Today, $1 million dropped against Jake.

Yesterday, Jake Johnson called for abusers in the Epstein Files to be imprisoned. Today, Donald Trump’s super PAC dumped over $1 million in ads against him.

“Literally the day after I called for the abusers in the Epstein Files to go to prison, the Epstein Class dumped over a million dollars to silence me,” said Jake Johnson. “Brad Finstad is getting his payoff for helping to cover up the Epstein files, but I know that the people of southern Minnesota won’t stand for cowards like Finstad who enable abusers and predators.”

BACKGROUND:  

  • Brad Finstad cast the deciding vote against releasing the Epstein Files, even after learning that Epstein's sex trafficking operation exploited girls as young as 9 for sex. Brad Finstad chose protecting major campaign donors in the files and top political leaders over protecting young girls from these predators.

  • Now those campaign donors and political leaders are coming to his defense. No Going Back PAC – a super PAC funded by Donald Trump’s MAGA Inc. and its Epstein-class donors – dumped over $1 million into the MN-01 race to attack and lie about Jake.

  • Additionally, other outside groups attacking Johnson are funded by the Epstein Class. The shadowy Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter PAC, which has spent more than $1 million attacking Johnson, has Las Vegas casino mogul Stephen Wynn as its top donor, who was forced to resign as the finance chairman of the RNC over sexual assault allegations and appears in the Epstein files.

  • Finstad has refused to sign onto the bipartisan discharge petition to release additional pieces of the Epstein files that the Epstein class has refused to make public.  

  • This is a recurring pattern. When Republican Rep. Thomas Massie tried to release the Epstein files, Donald Trump’s Super PAC spent over $7 million to defeat him.
