  • LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman said he's worried President-elect Donald Trump will have the Internal Revenue Service subject him to an audit or have the government deny him contracts as retribution for his support for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and a prominent Democratic donor, expressed concerns that former President Donald Trump might retaliate against him by initiating an IRS audit if Trump were to return to office. This fear stems from Hoffman's significant financial support for Vice President Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign, where he donated $2.5 million to a super PAC backing her.
