Dem lawmaker kept $30 million in shady offshore accounts

The second Trump administration is barely underway, but the Democrats and their allies in the Fake News media have already chosen the person who will lead their efforts to topple it.

He has already accused the administration of creating a “constitutional crisis,” repeating Democrats’ charges that Trump and Elon Musk are running an unelected government of billionaires.

Unfortunately for the Left, their newest anti-Trump leader is a trust fund kid who has turned heads years ago by putting tens of millions of dollars in an offshore account in a tax haven.

Meet Dan Goldman, the Democratic representative for New York’s 10th congressional district in the House of Representatives.

The Left’s coronation of the New York liberal is already well underway.

“Dan Goldman looks to be ‘the man in the arena’ against Trump,” announced The Hill on Monday.

Two weeks ago, a New York news outlet dubbed Goldman a “Resistance leader.”

Of course, that’s not a new role: The New York Times heralded Goldman as a “gladiator” in 2019, when he served as lead counsel in the first Trump impeachment.

And Goldman is already teeing up a third impeachment of President Trump, who took office 38 days ago.

In an interview with Scripps News last week, the ultra-wealthy liberal claimed President Donald Trump has already committed “dozens of impeachable offenses” during his first month back in office. “He’s violating the Constitution right, left, and center,” claimed Goldman.

Even as New York Governor Kathy Hochul threatened to remove the duly elected mayor of New York City from office without an election, Goldman accused Donald Trump of “outright extortion” for dismissing federal charges against Eric Adams.

Goldman has insisted the Justice Department investigate Trump officials who fired DOJ and FBI employees.

“That is banana republic shit,” said Goldman—even though Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton pushed mass firings for employees in virtually every federal agency.

Like most Democrats, Goldman is now fixated on DOGE leader Elon Musk, targeting Musk over his wealth.

“This week, I fought back against Trump and his billionaire patron, Elon Musk, for illegally slashing the federal government to pad their pockets,” said Goldman in a Facebook post dated February 8.

Goldman may want you to focus on how much money Elon Musk earned instead of looking at what Goldman did with the billions he inherited.

Goldman, an heir to the massive Levi Strauss & Co. fortune, is one of the wealthiest members of Congress with a net worth estimated between $184 million and $253 million.

“Trust fund kid Dan Goldman is so rich that I couldn’t get through his congressional financial disclosure in one sitting,” said one conservative investigator, who said Goldman’s official fiscal self-portrait contained “125 pages of massive stock holdings.”

But conservatives aren’t upset with anyone’s good fortune, as long as it’s honest. Two things make conservatives look sideways at Dan Goldman: His hypocrisy and—more importantly—how he hid tens of millions of dollars in an offshore tax haven.

About 10 years ago, left-wing Congressman Goldman helped found the Richard W. Goldman Family Foundation to “promote equality” in America.

But he stuffed the nonprofit’s money in a shadowy country sought out by people desperate for “financial privacy,” such as drug lords, human smugglers, and other criminals.

The foundation, named in honor of his father, “had investments worth $6.1 million and $26.1 million, respectively, in two private funds based in the Cayman Islands by the U.S. firm BBR Partners LLC., as of December 2020,” reported Fox News. “In addition to the $32.2 million invested overseas, Goldman’s foundation invested another $13 million in funds managed by BBR Partners, but organized in America.”

“Overall, the non-profit reported assets worth $82.2 million in 2020,” said Fox News.

That’s unbelievably hypocritical for a man who slams Musk for his wealth and who introduced the Billionaire Minimum Income Tax, because “we need to ensure that everybody — especially the wealthy — pays their fair share” in taxes.

Goldman could offer the IRS some of his old man’s money…but he’d rather start with yours.

Beyond Goldman’s double standard over his billions, the location—the Cayman Islands—raises serious questions about just exactly what Goldman is up to.

“It makes one wonder if the Musk investigators found Goldman’s charity getting money from USAID or that is a fear he has in the filing of the lawsuit to stop Musk,” wrote Mark Schendau at The Thinking Conservative.

Worse yet, these were not Goldman’s first legally dubious actions in office.

Goldman admitted to coaching Michael Cohen before his testimony to Congress in the Trump impeachment hearings, and he’s a client of Authentic Campaigns, the consulting firm run by Loren Merchan—the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, the liberal who presided over last year’s trial where a New York jury convicted then-candidate Trump of numerous felonies.

At times, Goldman.has sounded like he wants to see President Trump assassinated.

“That man cannot see public office again,” Goldman told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, Joe Biden’s former White House spokesperson, in July, just weeks after the first assassination attempt. “He is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated.”

Weeks later, a radical left-wing activist attempted a second assassination attempt against President Trump.

After Kamala Harris lost handily, Goldman is so consumed with anti-Trump hatred, he admits the thoughts of undermining the president of the United Staets literally keeps him up at night.

“I am not sleeping that well. I’m waking up in the night thinking about different angles to expose the lawlessness,” said Goldman, and “to stop what I think is incredibly dangerous for our entire country.”

“Our task is to connect (Donald Trump’s alleged) lawlessness to everyday lives,” said Goldman.

But somehow, Goldman’s wealthy friends in the Democratic Party couldn’t connect lawlessness at the border to the “everyday lives” of 100,000 Americans who died from overdoses, thanks mostly to fentanyl trafficked across the southern border.

Goldman should be grateful Americans care more about their own economic fortunes than wealthy politicians hiding their money in shady accounts.
