Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett Claims Zeldin, Romney, Bush Took Political Cash From Epstein

Rep. Crockett cited Federal Election Commission filings to allege GOP donations from a Jeffrey Epstein, but fact-checks revealed mistaken identity involving a different donor.

  • On Tuesday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett accused several prominent Republicans on the House floor of receiving campaign donations from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, citing FEC filings naming Mitt Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zeldin and George Bush.
  • While defending Del. Stacey Plaskett, Crockett accused the GOP censure effort of being a 'distraction' as the House passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in a 427-1 vote.
  • FEC records show donations to Lee Zeldin totaled $1,000 across two contributions in April and August of 2020 from Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, a self-employed physician in New York.
  • Crockett faced immediate criticism Wednesday for falsely alleging Lee Zeldin received donations from Epstein, while media outlets including CNN and Fox News panels ridiculed her defense blaming staff.
  • With the bill's Senate prospects unclear, fact-checks and misidentifications risk distracting from the Epstein Files Transparency Act and could complicate momentum in the House and Senate.
