LINCOLN — Nebraska U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn planned a fundraiser this week in Washington, D.C. — until he didn’t.
Osborn, a registered nonpartisan, abruptly canceled the fundraiser planned for Tuesday after social media and campaign chatter questioned the involvement of one co-host, Dana Chasin, a long time Democratic donor who was mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files as allegedly transporting young girls for the late convicted offender, as was first reported by Politico.
Chasin, a Rockefeller heir, advised Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the campaigns of former South Dakota U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson and former Montana U.S. Sen. Jon Tester.
Osborn’s campaign said it canceled the event as soon as the team learned of Chasin’s alleged ties to Epstein. Osborn and his campaign directed the Examiner to what they told Politico.
