Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Justice Isn't Partisan. Release the Epstein Files! - CNN The Source
In this CNN interview, Rep. Jasmine Crockett breaks down exactly what the Epstein bill means now that the 30-day countdown has officially started. With the Justice Department on the clock, Rep. Crockett makes it plain: transparency shouldn’t depend on who the president likes, protects, or pardons.
She calls out Pam Bondi and DOJ leadership for years of stonewalling, questions whether they’ll truly release the full Epstein files by December 18, and explains why she expects more delay tactics from the same people who’ve ignored court orders and treated the law as optional.
Rep. Crockett also pushes back on Trump’s claim that the release will “embarrass Democrats,” saying she’s never been worried about her name showing up in the files — and reminding viewers who actually spent decades cozy with Epstein, who was on the planes, who received the birthday letter, and who keeps giving passes to January 6th defendants.
She addresses the Stacey Plaskett controversy, clarifies how Republicans weaponized a text exchange to distract from their own ties, and lays out how selective outrage keeps being used to protect Trump while punishing anyone who challenges him.
And finally, Rep. Crockett breaks down the redistricting chaos across the country — from Texas to California to Ohio — and why Democrats won’t “stand down” when Trump is launching an all-out gerrymandering offensive nationwide.
It’s a clear, sharp look at power, accountability, and what real justice should look like — no matter who it names. - 11/19/2025.
