US EditionJeffrey Epstein, a Long Island neurosurgeon, and a case of mistaken identity
Rep. Crockett wrongly linked campaign donations to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; funds actually came from a Long Island neurosurgeon with the same name.
- On Tuesday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett confused Long Island neurosurgeon Jeffrey Epstein with the convicted financier, whose donations to Lee Zeldin were made in April and August 2020, records show.
- Crockett's comments came while defending Delegate Stacey Plaskett after texts released last week showed Plaskett communicated with the convicted sex offender, and the House voted nearly unanimously to release Epstein files with a censure measure narrowly defeated.
- Reached by phone on Thursday, the doctor said he's been barraged with calls and media requests and told Newsday he's taking the incident with a grain of salt, joking to The New York Post about donating to Crockett.
- Crockett was mocked online after a disjointed CNN appearance Wednesday, while Zeldin clarified on X that donations came from 'a physician named Dr. Jeffrey Epstein,' drawing pushback from Meghan McCain.
- Long Island actually has multiple men named Jeffrey Epstein, including a neurosurgeon and others in Floral Park, Long Beach and Westbury, raising questions about sharing a name with the convicted financier.
