CROCKETT: Republicans are ‘gonna run away’ from Epstein vote – The Hill
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) slammed congressional Republicans in a Saturday MSNBC interview over efforts in the House to force a vote on releasing investigative records related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Crockett accused Republicans of not wanting to pursue a measure that would force the Department of Justice to release all of its files on Epstein, who died in prison as he faced charges of sexual trafficking.
“I absolutely think they are gonna run away with this as quickly as possible,” Crockett said. “I don’t anticipate that we will get to any resolution on this.”
“If he’s [Trump] trying to hide it, they understand that it is most likely problematic for him, as well as the MAGA brand, as well the Republicans,” Crockett said. “So, I don’t anticipate that they will be on board for doing anything that may harm them or their fearless leader.”
