Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is facing backlash on social media and labeled the "worst candidate possible" after she botched her facts while trying to tie Republicans to Jeffrey Epstein donations during remarks on the House floor. 

After a tranche of Epstein-related documents were released earlier this week, Del. Stacey Plaskett, the non-voting congressional representative for the U.S. Virgin Islands, came under fire for texting with the disgraced financier during a 2019 congressional hearing about Donald Trump's potential conflicts of interest. 

Plaskett was fervently defended by several of her Democrat colleagues in the House after Republicans tried to censure her, including Crockett, who sought to accuse Republicans of their own ties to Epstein but failed miserably.

Crockett said she had her team "dig in" to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, which she claimed showed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator and former member of Congress from New York, Lee Zeldin, had accepted campaign donations from the disgraced financier in the past. However, the donations were from a different Jeffrey Epstein, prompting backlash from both parties against Crockett.

"If you're looking for a good way to light $50 million on fire and lose by 15 points, then Jasmine Crockett is your candidate," a Democratic strategist told Fox News Digital following Crockett's floor remarks. Crockett has indicated that she will decide in the next few weeks by the Dec. 8 filing deadline whether she will indeed throw her hat in the ring to challenge Republican incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.

"She's got no shot to win that Texas Senate race, and screw-ups like this show why she's probably the worst candidate possible," the Democratic strategist continued.

Meanwhile, Republicans did not hold back on their criticism of Crockett. 

"Crockett should get censured for this and staff should be fired," GOP strategist Matt Whitlock posted on X. "What a shocking embarrassment to go to the floor with this kind of insane accusation, and have the WRONG JEFFREY EPSTEIN."

"Crockett getting this so badly wrong is I guess why politicians usually outsource their oppo research to the professionals," Chuck Ross, a Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter, wrote on X. "But you also would expect a member of Congress to know more about FEC filings."

"Jasmine Crockett completely misrepresented, indeed outright lied, about various GOP politicians' potential past donor relationships with Epstein," former New York GOP Congresswoman Nan Hayworth said. 

Zeldin himself was also quick to clap back about the inaccuracy, noting the person he received campaign donations from was a physician also named "Jeffrey Epstein."

In addition to Zeldin, Crockett sought to claim other Republicans, such as Mitt Romney, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), George Bush, John McCain, Sarah Palin, and others also received donations from the disgraced financier.  

"This is a distraction … why are y'all more interested in talking about Stacey Plaskett than Trump's relationship with the man?" Crockett asked on the House floor, calling Trump and Epstein "besties," amid a resolution to censure Plaskett. 

"Miss me with your moral high ground. Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly: Mitt Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zeldin. George Bush, Win Red, McCain-Palin, Rick Lazio … If this is the standard that we are going to make, just know we're going to expose it all and just know that the FEC filings are available for everybody to review," Crockett said.

Crockett once again had to be fact-checked just a few weeks ago amid comments trying to make Republicans look like they were trying to hide facts about President Trump as it pertains to Epstein's crimes. 

During an interview on CNN, Crockett attempted to claim Republicans redacted important information from documents about Epstein's crimes. However, the hosts of the segment were forced to jump in and correct the record, telling Crockett that it was actually Democrats who decided to black out the name of one of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Giuffre, who did not accuse President Trump of any wrongdoing. 

"Her recitation of the facts is simply, that, ‘I’m not going to trust Republicans. They probably made that up. And, by the way, we would never redact the name of somebody who is deceased anyway,'" conservative radio host Vince Coglianese said of Crockett's CNN debacle. "Jasmine Crockett was trying to – literally, on the spot – come up with a conspiracy theory in order to defend the callous and disgraceful behavior of Democrats. Where have we seen this before? Well, I don't know, every Democrat made-up scandal about Donald Trump we've seen ever. They're constantly trying to defame him. It's the wrap-up smear constantly delivered over, and over, and over again."

Fox News Digital Reached out to Crockett for comment but did not receive a response.  

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll arrived in Kyiv Wednesday as the U.S. moves to jump-start talks to end the Russia–Ukraine war.

Driscoll, accompanied by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, visited the war-torn country ahead of War Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has yet to travel to Ukraine or meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Any such trip, however, would require Hegseth’s approval.

Also traveling with the secretary are Lt. Gen. Chris Donahue, the Army’s commanding general for Europe and Africa; Maj. Gen. Michael Buzzard, the commanding general for the Security Assistance Group–Ukraine; Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Weiner of Army Special Operations Command; and Col. Dave Butler.

The group is set to meet with Zelenskyy, Ukrainian military, and defense industry leaders and lawmakers.

"Secretary Driscoll and his team arrived this morning in Kyiv on behalf of the administration on a fact-finding mission to meet with Ukrainian officials and discuss efforts to end the war," Butler said in a Wednesday statement confirming the trip.

The White House has been quietly developing a fast-moving new peace outline. Envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev held talks in Miami for three days in late October, Axios reported Tuesday.

The administration designated Driscoll as a special representative to help kick-start the peace process, though he is not carrying the reported proposal to Ukraine, a defense official told Fox News Digital.

His team is working to secure a future meeting with the Russian side but such an engagement is not expected to occur during this trip, the official added.

Driscoll and his team also are meeting with Ukrainian defense industry leaders to discuss a potential deal involving drone technology exchange. The Army has prioritized learning from Ukraine’s success in developing and producing armed drones that have proven pivotal in striking deep behind enemy lines.

"We want Ukrainians to build relationships with the American industrial base because we want to pull those lessons learned from" the war, the official said.

The Army aims to produce 1 million drones over the next two to three years — a tall order for the U.S. industrial base.

Ukraine has the capacity to produce 8 million drones per year, Zelenskyy said in July.

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy is in Turkey in an effort to revive direct talks with Russia. 

The conflict he once thought could end in 24 hours has increasingly exasperated President Donald Trump, who has alternated between sympathy for Russia’s position and support for Ukraine.

However, his administration just approved another $105 million sale of Patriot missile launchers and related parts to Ukraine, and Ukraine said it used long-range U.S.-made Army tactical missile systems to strike deep inside Russia — which would signal a reversal of U.S. policy that limited use of its resources to strike in Russian territory. 

Ukraine watchers remain skeptical that Zelenskyy will be more flexible on a deal than he has been in the past. 

Facing mounting political pressure at home over an energy corruption scandal that has ensnared members of his inner circle, Zelenskyy’s government may soon face a challenge from the nationalist right — political factions even less likely to accept a compromise.

"It’s a death blow politically if he accepts a bad deal," one foreign policy analyst said. "His party is in (not fully public yet) revolt, and a unity government with more nationalist parts of the opposition is way less likely to go along with this."
