Rep. Jasmine Crockett Exposes Trump's 'Autocracy Machine' in a Hard-Hitting Opening Statement - Judiciary Committee



In a hard-hitting Judiciary Committee opening statement, Rep. Jasmine Crockett lays out exactly how Donald Trump has turned federal power into an autocracy machine — from weaponized agencies to ignored court orders to a pay-for-play operation running out of the White House.

Crockett calls out the GOP for abandoning their constitutional role, shielding Trump from accountability, and blocking justice for Epstein’s survivors for eight straight weeks. She walks through the hypocrisy, the corruption, and the cases where even Republican-appointed judges have ruled the administration acted “lawlessly.”

She doesn’t stop there: Rep. Crockett breaks down Trump’s long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the shifting stories about the Epstein files, and the sudden scramble inside the GOP to explain why those files aren’t being released. She puts names, facts, and receipts on the table — from pardons floated for sex traffickers to cash-bribe scandals to taxpayer money funneled to political allies.

This is Rep. Crockett at full clarity, cutting through spin and saying what others won’t. - 11/19/2025.
