They’re named in the Epstein files — and they donated to Ken Paxton’s campaign (www.ms.now)

At least one member of a Texas family whose business once considered buying Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious plane — the “Lolita Express” — donated thousands of dollars to support Ken Paxton’s Senate campaign earlier this year, according to federal campaign finance records.

The Jaffe family, known for its real estate holdings and aviation business based in Texas, appears in two batches of Epstein documents released by the Department of Justice: once for trying to buy Epstein’s infamous plane, and once for reportedly associating — according to an anonymous tipster — with scantily clad young women.

At least one member of the family also donated upwards of $6,000 to groups supporting Paxton after the Epstein files were released publicly, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
