Follow the money. Many have been curious about who is funding the defense for gang-banger and Democratic Party idol Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
At first, many suspected billionaire socialist George Soros or his son Alex had their fingerprints all over it.
Now, however, it has been revealed that the swanky New York law firm representing MS-13’s finest received $7 million from billionaire Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman in 2020. Hoffman is the co-founder of LinkedIn, The Tennessee Star reports.
That money was directed to fund lawsuits filed against President Trump by E. Jean Carroll, a woman who has been described as eccentric.
Hecker & Fink, as well as the Nashville law firm of Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison, were announced as his new attorneys in a legal filing last week.
Hecker & Fink was previously known as Kaplan, Hecker, & Fink until attorney Roberta Kaplan left the firm last year amid complaints of her alleged poor conduct at the firm, which included accusations that she made “insulting and threatening comments to colleagues.”
In 2020, the firm received $7 million from American Future Republic, a nonprofit established by Hoffman in 2019.
The $7 million was described as “public interest litigation funding” in its Form 990 tax filing with the Internal Revenue Service in 2020. Those funds were used to fund the lawsuit filed by Carroll against President Trump.
In 2024, Carroll was awarded an unbelievably large $83.3 million judgment after she accused the president of defaming her when he responded to what he called a bogus legal victory.
Carroll, without any evidence, claimed that Trump had sexually abused and defamed her following an incident inside a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman sometime in the 1990s. Carroll wrote a nationally syndicated advice column for decades.
According to sources familiar with the Abrego Garcia case, they told The Tennessee Star that Hecker & Fink is representing the MS-13 gang member on a pro bono basis.
Abrego Garcia is charged with human trafficking of illegal aliens. The source told The Star that the law firm didn’t receive any financial backing before taking the case.
The Star has previously reported that the law firm’s website says that the law firm has “a profound and substantial commitment to lawyering in the public interest,” and noted its first lawsuit was filed against the organizers of the “Unite the Right” rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.
That was the source of the “fine people” hoax that Democrats and left-wing media pushed to smear President Trump, and, according to Joe Biden, was the impetus for him entering the 2020 presidential race.
“We have prevailed at the U.S. Supreme Court in the high-stakes election, redistricting, and public health cases–and our amicus briefs have been cited by Justices Sotomayor, Jackson, and Ginsburg,” the firm’s website states.
Those three justices are notably far-left jurists nominated by Democratic presidents.
“Our way paved the way for lasting change in women’s sports, and we negotiated a historic settlement to substantially limit Florida’s [wrongly named] ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law.”
The Tennessee Star reports that the firm was asked to represent the MS-13 gang member Abrego Garcia in the federal human trafficking case by other lawyers representing him, and noted their entry into the case depended on locating a Nashville area attorney familiar with local prosecutors and judges.
That Nashville attorney is Roscoe Dean, son of former Nashville mayor Karl Dean, who Sherrard Roe hired on April 1 after leaving the U.S. Attorney’s Office, where he previously served as the Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division.
A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper pulled over Abrego Garcia on November 30, 2022; however, the FBI, then under the direction of the feckless Christopher Wray, ordered troopers to release Abrego Garcia despite their (now accurate) belief that he was engaged in human trafficking.
On June 6, Abrego Garcia was returned to Tennessee when Attorney General Pam Bondi unsealed an indictment, charging him with being part of a human smuggling operation for nearly nine years.
The “Maryland father”, as mainstream media has dubbed him, allegedly made over 100 trips during his human trafficking career. He has pleaded not guilty.
You may recall that the Trump administration deported Abrego Garcia to an El Salvadoran prison, which raised the hackles of illegal alien-loving Democrats.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, made a trip to El Salvador, where he met with Abrego Garcia, allegedly over margaritas, sparking mockery from the political right.
