Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weeknight" on Monday evening that Congress' efforts to learn the details of the Jeffrey Epstein saga are only just beginning — as Oversight Committee lawmakers get their hands on the first trove of documents, including the letter Trump allegedly sent to Epstein for his birthday that he sued the Wall Street Journal for reporting on.

"These new Epstein documents, is that part of your digging in and sort of unpacking a lot of that kind of information to sort of connect bigger dots to?" asked anchor and former GOP chair Michael Steele.

"Oh, absolutely," said Crockett.

She called it "concerning" to have a president with ties to an accused sex trafficker, and asserted, "this is, like, even bigger than him."

"I want people to understand the information that we were given about foreign governments and their participation, the information we were given about our own federal government, and how high of a level we're talking about as far as like them being in cahoots," she continued. "We know that JPMorgan Chase ended up paying out a large settlement because they basically kind of looked the other way, as there were these ridiculous wire transfers that were going by. We know that there were fake corporations that were set up. We know that, or at least we've been told that, there were fake immigration documents that were put together so that women from other countries could end up over here. We know that there were allegedly fake marriages."

What this means is the Epstein scandal "reeks through every single level of government," Crockett said. "And it's one of those reasons that these survivors have been quiet for so long, right? Because literally they would walk in and they would see these pictures of Epstein with all of these powerful people from all over the world. And then he would threaten them and say, 'If you say anything, just know I know everybody,' right?"

"I think if we are going to prevent Epstein 2.0 or if Epstein 2.0 is taking place right now, I think it's important that we nip this in the bud right now and we learn what we did not know, and we put some safeguards in place to prevent this type of thing from happening," she added.
