Rep. Crockett stood by her claim that EPA head Zeldin got Epstein money, despite evidence showing a different man with the same name donated.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) refused to retract her claim that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin received campaign donations from Jeffrey Epstein, despite evidence showing the contributions came from a different man with the same name—a New York physician who donated in 2020. On MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Crockett acknowledged the error but maintained she used “a Jeffrey Epstein” to suggest a possibility, not a definitive link. She admitted she had not verified the donor’s identity or contacted the physician, though she conceded Zeldin denied receiving funds from the infamous financier. The controversy highlights concerns over accuracy in political statements involving high-profile names.
