NEW: Jasmine Crockett’s Trump-Epstein Narrative Collapses On Live TV After CNN Host Brings Out Receipts

CNN host Pamela Brown stopped Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett in her tracks Wednesday after the congresswoman wrongly accused Republicans of redacting the name of one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most well-known victims.During an appearance on “The Situation Room,” Crockett suggested the GOP was shielding Donald Trump by hiding the name of Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers. But Brown quickly set the record straight — it was Democrats who made the redaction.

“Here’s the email right here on your screen. She wrote a book, as you know, and she did not accuse him of any wrongdoing,” Brown said. “What do you make of that? And can you confirm that?”

Crockett dismissed the clarification. “Yeah, I don’t know. Obviously, it’s redacted who the victim is, so I won’t necessarily take the Republicans’ word on who it is that’s redacted. And I don’t know why they would necessarily redact someone’s name who is deceased at this point,” she said.

“But the Democrats did that,” Brown shot back.

Still, Crockett doubled down, claiming Republicans were trying to protect Trump by hiding the Epstein files.

“So I think that that’s actually one of the things that we should talk about is that the president has tried to call this all a hoax. I don’t think you have this many people dying around a hoax,” she said. “I don’t think you have somebody trying to hide files around a hoax. We know that there’s something there. We know that his own attorney general had to admit that he is in the files, but they are trying to hide stuff.”

Crockett continued, “The only reason that we have these emails is because we were able to get them from the estate, not because the Department of Justice was releasing information, not because Kash Patel was releasing information, even though they’ve had subpoenas from the Oversight Committee for some time. Kash Patel continues to hold back information.”

Trump, meanwhile, said in July that if there was anything damning in the Epstein documents, the Biden administration would have made sure the public saw it. Despite holding the records for years, Biden’s DOJ didn’t release them either.

Among the newly revealed materials was a 2011 email from Giuffre, who died by suicide in April at age 41. In it, she said Trump “didn’t partake in sex with any of us but he flirted with me.”

“Donald Trump was also a good friend of Jeffrey’s. He didn’t partake in sex with any of us but he flirted with me. He’d laugh and tell Jeffrey, ‘You’ve got the life,’” Giuffre said.

In a 2015 exchange, anti-Trump author Michael Wolff appeared to advise Epstein on how to use Trump’s denials for leverage. “I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff wrote. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable P.R. and political currency.”

Trump later told reporters he cut ties with Epstein after the disgraced financier “stole” some of his staffers from Mar-a-Lago, allegedly including Giuffre.

Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell backed up Trump’s account during a July 24 deposition, calling him “a gentleman in all respects” and saying she never saw him act inappropriately.
