Jasmine Crockett Defends Misleading Claim on Jeffrey Epstein

Rep. Jasmine Crockett defended her claim linking Lee Zeldin to a Jeffrey Epstein donor despite FEC records showing it was a different man with the same name.

  • On November 18, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett told the House floor that FEC filings linked Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin to a `Jeffrey Epstein`.
  • Campaign records later identified the donor as Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, New York physician in 2020, creating a same-name confusion after Federal Election Commission filings showed a donor named Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Crockett said she had only about 20 minutes to research the filing before speaking and emphasized she said `a Jeffrey Epstein`, admitting she had not researched further.
  • Following the confrontation on MS NOW's The Weekend Sunday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett declined to fully retract her November 18 comments, and the record concerning Lee Zeldin was cleared.
  • The episode, which involved a donor also identified as Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, highlights that Dr. Jeffrey Epstein donated to Crockett amid a privilege motion tied to Representative Stacey Plaskett.
