‘Genius’ Jasmine Crockett says ‘Jeffrey Epstein’ funded Lee Zeldin — but files show it wasn’t THAT Epstein
WASHINGTON — “We gonna expose it all!” Rep. Jasmine Crockett warned while accusing Lee Zeldin of taking donations from “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein” — claiming she “very quickly” found evidence linking the Long Island Republican to the late sex offender, who died in jail awaiting trial in August 2019.
Crockett (D-Texas) cited Federal Election Commission filings, which actually show two different men named Jeffrey Epstein donated to Zeldin, now President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency administrator, while he represented New York in the House.
Both Jeffrey Epsteins donated to Zeldin months after the notorious man of the same name allegedly hanged himself.

Dr. Jeffrey Epstein of Manhasset, NY, donated a total of $1,000 to Zeldin in April and August 2020, according to FEC records.
The other Jeffrey Epstein, the owner of a beverage distribution company from New Brunswick, NJ, donated $600 in February 2020 — six months after the infamous Epstein died.
Online Federal Election Commission records dating to 2012 do not show any donations from the well-connected sex trafficker to Zeldin, who served in Congress between 2015 and 2023.
Crockett’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on the apparent misidentification, nor did either donor.
In her remarks, Crockett pushed back on an ultimately defeated Republican attempt to censure Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-USVI), who recently released messages show remained in touch with the predator long after his public disgrace.
“Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly: Mitt Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zeldin, George Bush, WinRed, McCain-Palin, Rick Lazio,” Crockett said Tuesday night — shortly after Republicans revealed that supporters of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) invited Epstein to a private meet-and-greet in 2013.

“I just want to be clear: If this is the standard that we gonna make, just know we are gonna expose it all. And just know that the FEC filings, they are available for everyone to review. This is absolutely ridiculous.”
Zeldin responded on X: “Yes Crockett, a physician named Dr. Jeffrey Epstein (who is a totally different person than the other Jeffrey Epstein) donated to a prior campaign of mine. NO FREAKIN RELATION YOU GENIUS!!!”
President Trump is expected to sign legislation this week to mandate the full disclosure of federal files on Epstein after initially opposing release and calling it a Democratic witch hunt into his social association with the former financier in the 1990s and early 2000s.
