Lefty Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett gets fact-checked by CNN while failing to smear Trump over Epstein docs

The email in question was part of a tranche of 23,000 pages of documents from the convicted pedophile’s estate released by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee this week after Democrats published a smaller batch in which they chose to redact the name of deceased victim Virginia Giuffre.

Republicans later revealed the omitted name in the 2011 email was Giuffre, and accused the Democrats of deliberately muddying the waters by obscuring it.

“The fact that Trump does not want these files to be out to me says he has more to hide than him actually being able to exonerate himself,” Crockett said on “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer” Thursday.

However CNN anchor Pamela Brown then produced the email, and pointed out that Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, wrote in her posthumously published memoir that Trump had no hand in the disgraced financier’s wrongdoing.

“Yeah, I don’t know. Obviously it’s redacted who the victim is, so I won’t necessarily take the Republican word on who it is that’s redacted,” Crockett said with a self-righteous laugh.“And I don’t know why they would necessarily redact someone’s name who is deceased at this point.”

Brown quickly corrected the far-left rep, reminding her, “the Democrats did that, though.”

A visibly rattled Crockett stammered through an attempt to walk back her false assertion and quickly changed the subject.

“The Democrats were — no, no, I understand. But just saying, like, our biggest concern is to actually make sure we are protecting victims. And obviously, she wrote a book, she told her truth.”
