Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is hardly stunned on the lengths President Donald Trump will go in an effort to hold his lies “consistent.”
This time it’s relating to a message that The Wall Road Journal reported Trump wrote in a “birthday book” given to intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The Home Oversight Committee obtained the e book and launched photographs of the notice Monday, whereas the White Home continued to say the president had nothing to do with the message.
In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Crockett, who’s no stranger to holding Trump accountable, shared her ideas on the denials coming from the White Home.
“Here’s the deal. 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 mentioned.
She proceeded to name out Trump for denying he personally knew Epstein, who died in 2019, and for saying he had nothing to do with the birthday notice. The congresswoman additionally criticized Trump’s lack of “credibility,” particularly in gentle of the White Home’s refusal to verify these doubtlessly incriminating paperwork existed.
“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,” she said. “And this literally is so big. As someone who practiced criminal law in Texas, in Arkansas, and in federal courts — I have never seen a case this big, and I [practiced law] for literally over 15 years.”
Collins then requested Crockett concerning the authenticity of the signature within the e book and what she thinks of the denials from the White Home. Crockett didn’t maintain again, calling the president a “liar” and commenting on his dedication to unfold misinformation.
“He’s consistent,” Crockett mentioned. “Here’s the thing, we got this from the Epstein estate. This isn’t something that came from a random Democratic something. This came from the estate.”

The Democratic lawmaker emphasised the doc’s authenticity — arguing that if it had been fabricated, the forger would have wanted unbelievable “foresight” to supply such an in depth report so a few years earlier than Trump was president. She maintained that the “biggest issue” is Trump’s lack of ability to be “honest” about his dealings with Epstein.
The 2 then reviewed the signature — with Crockett weighing in on its look.
“Who else signs like that?” she requested. “It is a signature of signatures. I mean, that is his signature, end of story. I don’t think that it is worth time trying to get somebody to come in who’s an expert and goes through the curves and that kind of stuff. We have experts that can do that if [Trump] really wants to, but I don’t think that it takes an expert to know that that is his signature.”
