Jasmine Crockett Unleashes Fierce Takedown as Newly Released Epstein Files Drag Donald Trump Back Into the Scandal Spotlight
In a stunning and fiery television appearance, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett delivered what many online are calling a “political tap dance on Donald Trump’s grave.” With newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein files sending shockwaves through Washington, Crockett did not hesitate to draw a straight, damning line between the disgraced financier and the former president.
And she did it with the cutting precision of someone who has had enough of what she calls Trump’s “hoax rhetoric.”
“The president has tried to call this all a hoax,” Crockett said, her voice steady but brimming with incredulity. “I don’t think you have this many people dying around a hoax. Who’s the ‘low IQ’ person now, Donnie?”
Her remarks came after CNN revealed new communications and emails connected to Epstein — documents that cast Trump in a far more compromised light than previously known. While Trump has long attempted to distance himself from Epstein, calling him a “fixture of Palm Beach,” the files tell a far murkier story.
And Crockett made sure viewers understood the magnitude.

A Dog That Didn’t Bark — and Why That Matters
One of the most explosive details came from an Epstein note describing Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked,” a phrase that immediately set off alarms among analysts. Some have interpreted the comment as coded language — a suggestion that Trump could be trusted not to expose Epstein’s operations.
Crockett went further.
“It was clear that Trump knew what was going on,” she said. “At some point he even admitted he was trying to kick Ghislaine out of Mar-a-Lago — because it seems like that’s where girls were being recruited from based on the information we have.”
If that revelation weren’t serious enough, the files also contain Epstein’s real-time conversations with author Michael Wolff during Trump’s 2016 presidential run. Crockett paraphrased the exchange on CNN, but the implication was unmistakable: Epstein believed he had leverage over the future president.
“A Trump regime,” Crockett said, “would basically open up a free-for-all. And honestly, look at what happened. Trump pardoned some absolutely terrible people. And now? We’re all waiting to see if he pardons Ghislaine Maxwell. I think that’s coming too.”
Her words hung heavy, underscored by the shocking fact that Epstein died in prison while Trump was in office — a point Crockett didn’t shy away from highlighting.
“Obviously, it would be better if we could talk to Jeffrey today,” she said pointedly. “But it was very interesting that he died during Trump’s administration.”

The Email Saying Trump “Knew About the Girls”
Wolf Blitzer pressed the congresswoman on one of the most disturbing pieces of evidence: an email claiming Trump “knew about the girls” being targeted at Mar-a-Lago and asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop.
Crockett’s response was immediate.
“I think it shows Trump was well aware — and that he was trying to cover his tracks. That’s what we’re seeing here.”
And then came the question that has haunted the entire case:
If Trump is innocent, why does he fight so hard to suppress the files?
“If This Exonerates You, Why Hide It?”
Crockett unleashed one of her most devastating blows when she addressed Trump’s attempts to block the release of documents and communications.
“If you know you didn’t do anything,” she said, “why twist your own party’s arms to keep the files hidden? Why not say, ‘Release everything’?”
Her voice grew sharper.
“This should be exonerating! In fact, he campaigned on releasing the files. But he didn’t realize he might be in them.”
Crockett then drew attention to another email discussed by CNN — a conversation in which Epstein and Wolff strategized about how to handle Trump if he tried to deny their relationship.
“At one point,” Crockett said, “they even talked about mentioning that Trump was really on the plane. That shows Epstein had something to hang over him. Now what exactly it was? Who knows. That’s what we’re trying to figure out.”
But Trump’s fear of the files, she argued, is telling.
“To me, the fact that Trump does not want these files out says he has more to hide — not less.”
The Question of the “Redacted Victim”
Among the documents was another cryptic email from April 2, 2011, stating that Trump spent “hours” at Epstein’s home with one of the victims. Republicans quickly tried to dismiss the claim by insisting the woman mentioned was Virginia Giuffre — who has not accused Trump of wrongdoing.
But Crockett wasn’t buying it.
“That victim’s name is redacted,” she emphasized. “We should not take Republicans at their word. We don’t know who she is — and we can’t ask Epstein because he’s dead.”
“He Has Been Investigated More Because He Is More Criminal”
Perhaps Crockett’s most viral moment came when she addressed Trump’s complaints that he has been unfairly targeted.
“Listen,” she said with a wry smile, “they will do and say anything to cover themselves. I will admit Trump has been investigated more than normal — but that’s because he is more corrupt and more criminal than any president we’ve ever had.”
Then came the hammer:
“He is the only president convicted of 34 felonies. Ever.”
It was a line that ricocheted across social media within seconds.

The Bigger Picture — And the Growing Storm
While the full impact of these newly released Epstein files remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Donald Trump’s attempt to distance himself from Epstein is collapsing under the weight of fresh evidence, resurfaced communications, and increasingly vocal critics like Jasmine Crockett.
And Crockett’s closing words capture exactly why the scandal won’t die down anytime soon:
“I don’t think you have this many people dying around a hoax. I don’t think you have people hiding files around a hoax. We know there’s something there.”
With more documents expected to be unsealed — and political tensions at a boiling point — the story is far from over.
In fact, it may only just be beginning.
