EXCERPT:
Texas Democrat James Talarico has made Jeffrey Epstein a campaign weapon against Republican Senate rival Ken Paxton, but new scrutiny is turning back on the Democrat over financial ties to a major donor with a documented association to the disgraced financier.
Talarico has repeatedly invoked Epstein on the campaign trail, including during a September appearance with survivors at a Dallas exhibit featuring millions of pages of Epstein-related records.
He used the event to accuse Paxton of failing to do enough to force the release of additional Justice Department records tied to Epstein and his network.
Talarico has also accused Paxton of offering “Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles,” making the scandal a recurring part of his campaign message.
But the Paxton campaign has pointed to outside groups supporting Talarico that have received major financial backing from Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, who has acknowledged past interactions with Epstein.
