"When I was on the floor for those that don't know how it works basically they decided to bring this privilege motion up, and they decided that they wanted to kick [Rep.] Stacey [Plaskett] off of her committees because she had received a donation from Jeffrey Epstein. I had maybe 20 minutes. We researched the FEC, and because I like to speak with specificity, that's kind of what comes with being an attorney."
"I made clear that there was a' Jeffrey Epstein they knew on the other side that I did not have time to actually pull up, and actually research especially since that particular one that Lee Zeldin got up in an uproar about was specifically out of the New York area. We know that he was out of that area. So, and this obviously was not done post-Jeffrey Epstein's life."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett accused Lee Zeldin of accepting money from Jeffrey Epstein, but financial records show the donor was a different man with the same name. Crockett declined to amend her statement when confronted and said she had limited time to research FEC records before speaking on the House floor. Crockett said she referenced "a Jeffrey Epstein" and suggested the possibility of a connection, while insisting she never definitively named the notorious Epstein. The exchange occurred during a segment in which Crockett defended her remarks and explained the context of a privilege motion involving Rep. Stacey Plaskett.
