U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett believes that the optics surrounding Donald Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein are concerning, especially given reports of White House efforts to prevent the release of Epstein’s FBI files. Crockett argues that if Trump had nothing to hide, he would support the full release of these files, despite previously campaigning on doing so, and later reversing course. Furthermore, Crockett suggests that the emails exchanged between Epstein and author Michael Wolff, indicating potential leverage over Trump, add to the suspicion. Crockett believes Trump’s resistance to the file’s release strongly implies that there is more information he is trying to conceal.

Amidst a vote to compel the full release of FBI files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett expressed skepticism towards the recent shifts in stance by former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Initially dismissing the investigation as a “hoax,” Trump now supports the file’s release, prompting Johnson to follow suit, a move Crockett believes is insincere. Crockett suggests that Trump and Republicans aim to stall the release, potentially through the Senate or by using ongoing investigations as a legal justification, despite their public pronouncements. Furthermore, concerns exist, including from Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, that Trump’s call to investigate others involved in the Epstein case may further delay or obstruct the file’s release.
