Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) slammed Donald Trump after another apparent connection between the president and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was unearthed this week.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump reportedly penned a 2003 birthday message to Epstein in a book given to the convicted sex offender. The letter was made public on Monday (September 8) by the House Oversight Committee. Despite the evidence, the White House has denied Trump’s involvement with the message.
“Here’s the deal,” Crockett told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in response to the denial. “We have a president that is sitting in office that obviously had a very close relationship with arguably one of the worst pedophiles that we have ever seen in this country.”
Crockett accused Trump of lying about his relationship with Epstein, who died in 2019, and condemned the White House’s refusal to acknowledge the book’s authenticity.
“As American people, we should all be in unison, no matter if you’re a Democrat, Republican or independent, when it comes down to cracking down on something like this,” the Texas congresswoman said. “This literally is so big. As someone who practiced criminal law… I have never seen a case this big.”
When asked about the signature in the book and Trump’s denial, Crockett bluntly stated, “He’s consistent. He lies.”
“This isn’t something that came from a random Democratic something. This came from the [Epstein] estate,” she added.
Crockett argued the document’s authenticity is clear, noting that if it were fake, the forger would have needed “incredible foresight” to create such detail before Trump’s presidency.
“Who else signs like that?” Crockett said of the handwriting. “It is a signature of signatures… I don’t think it takes an expert to know that that is his signature.”
