Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat member of the U.S. House representing a district in Texas, is known for her leftist extremism and a long list of scandals.
There have been claims she abused her staff, she mocked the disabled and has made dangerous, even threatening statements, about law enforcement.
But now a report has been released in the Free Beacon that could become actionable.
The report is that Crockett, “owned stocks in at least 25 companies that she did not disclose to the public during her first congressional run in 2022, even though she’d quietly admitted to the holdings the previous year as a Texas state legislator. Crockett also didn’t reveal the stock holdings once she got to Washington in 2023.”
Members of Congress are required to list their investments, and values, in broad ranges, so that the public knows if they are voting for issues that will benefit them financially.
The scandals for the woman called by some a “rising star” for Democrats includes her alleged abuse of staff members and her reputation as the “Boss from hell.”
Also she’s been accused of demanding staff members open doors for her, and drive her around in rented luxury vehicles like Escalades.
Her statement about law enforcement was, “Law enforcement isn’t to prevent crime, law enforcement solves crime, okay? That is what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to solve crimes, not necessarily prevent them from happening per se.”
And she mocked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair because of an accident years ago, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”
She been accused of cutting in line ahead of two wheelchair passengers to get on a flight.
There’s been more but the Free Beacon focused on her stock holdings and financial interests.
Her ownership includes bits and pieces of “Amazon, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, General Motors, Uber, DuPont, ExxonMobil, American Airlines, AT&T, Aurora Cannabis, Ford, and ‘Corporate Cannabis,’ and ‘Stocks Worldwide,’ the records show. Crockett also reported in her last Texas financial disclosure owing debts of at least $110,000—none of which she divulged in her first congressional financial disclosure covering the same calendar year,” the report revealed.
The details were obtained from public records requests, and they clash “with her image as an eco-warrior and beacon of progressivism.”
She was trying to open marijuana stores in Ohio, “even as she represented, as a defense lawyer, a man accused of murdering someone in a marijuana deal gone bad. Both in the Texas statehouse and in Congress, Crockett has pushed bills to decriminalize marijuana.”
The report found her stock holdings included companies that could have benefited from her work as a lawmaker.
She admitted owning stock in “pharmaceutical, fossil fuel, technology, automobile, and marijuana” industries as a Texas lawmaker, but they “did not disclose owning any of those same stocks in her first congressional financial disclosure, which also covered her financial holdings during the 2021 calendar year,” the report said.
“False or incomplete financial reports can lead to civil and even criminal penalties,” the report said.
“Personal financial disclosure rules are in place to make sure Members of Congress do not engage in conflicts of interest while working for the American people. The concerns surrounding the extreme discrepancies between Representative Crockett’s state and federal financial disclosures are certainly legitimate. If she is found to have improperly reported her assets and liabilities, further inquiry and possible penalties would be warranted,” charged Cailin Sutherland, of Americans for Public Trust.
The report said it wasn’t clear what her portfolio’s current status is, as she didn’t respond.
