Crockett Misidentifies Him as Notorious Sex Offender"},"content":{"rendered":"

Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, a New York neurosurgeon, is plotting a humorous response after Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) mistakenly linked him to the convicted sex offender and alleged sex trafficker of the same name. Crockett’s error occurred while she attempted to smear former Republican Congressman and current EPA head Lee Zeldin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Long Island physician revealed his plan to the <\/span><\/span><\/span>New York Post<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i> on Thursday. \u201cI think that I should contribute money to Jasmine Crockett and then let everyone know that she also took money from Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d he stated.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Crockett’s initial claim was made on the House floor earlier this week. She vowed to \u201cexpose it all,\u201d asserting she had discovered \u201csomebody named Jeffrey Epstein\u201d donated to Zeldin in 2020. This implied the $1,000 campaign contributions were from the notorious financier, despite him dying in a Manhattan jail cell the previous year. The donations were, in fact, from the neurosurgeon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUntil she said something, it was never an issue,\u201d Dr. Epstein told the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Post<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i> when asked if he had faced past confusion with the well-connected sex criminal. \u201cListen, that’s my name.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Crockett Attempts to Walk Back Claims<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Following the factual inaccuracies of her public smear against Zeldin, Crockett resorted to finessing her language. Appearing on CNN’s <\/span><\/span><\/span>The Source<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i> , she mentioned she never meant to directly associate Zeldin with the notorious Epstein. She reminded host Kaitlin Collins that she referred only to \u201csomebody named Jeffrey Epstein.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She attributed the error to her \u201cteam\u201d having \u201cGoogled\u201d the results. She argued that she had \u201cspecifically said ‘a Jeffrey Epstein’; unlike the Republicans, I just don’t go out and just tell lies.\u201d When pressed by Collins, she maintained, \u201cI never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein.\u201d She added, \u201cJust so that people understand, when you make a donation, your picture is not there.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Zeldin was quick to respond to the dispute. On Wednesday, he posted Crockett’s CNN appearance on X, adding a simple piece of advice for the congressional woman. \u201cWhen you find yourself in a hole, it’s best to stop digging,\u201d Zeldin wrote.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The public FEC report Crockett referenced on the House floor very clearly states that the Jeffrey Epstein who donated to my past campaign was a physician, and the donation date was well AFTER the \ud83e\udd41 other \ud83e\udd41 Jeffrey\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/Hr4l4Ab8Qg<\/a><\/p>\n
