Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) got very excited during an interview on MSNBC as they discussed investigations of President Trump, should Democrats take the House in 2026. She also expressed hopes that she will be elected as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. Crockett promised many investigations if she were chairperson of the Oversight Committee. How much incentive will her threats give Trump voters? My guess is there will be a lot of voters at the polls and a lot of cheating by the Democrats.
The Democrats are working hard to take back the House and the Senate. I believe the Senate is out of reach. While on “Alex Witt Reports,” Crockett was asked whether Democrats would plan to investigate President Donald Trump over his cryptocurrency. Crockett said:
“Well Alex, I’m glad you asked. Listen, so long as we end up taking the House, which I fully anticipate that we will do and we are gonna work hard to obviously help our Senate colleagues as well,” Crockett said. “Then as someone who serves on the Oversight Committee and hopes to lead the Oversight Committee, I can guarantee you that we will do what we are supposed to do as constitutionally sworn members of the House.”
“Which means that we will conduct oversight, that means that we will investigate, we will look at whether or not this president himself has violated the Emoluments Clause as relates to say such things as getting a $400 million plane from the Qataris. We also will make sure that we’re looking into all these business deals that they have going on.”
Crockett has already been trying to drum up support to be the Democratic leader of the committee to replace the deceased Gerry Connolly. I don’t think she will get it, but I hope she does. She gets so many facts wrong that she will be a laughingstock. Democrats may not want her to become the face ff their party.

“I absolutely do. You know unfortunately we are going to lay our dear colleague Gerry Connolly to rest here on Tuesday. There will have to be an election to determine who is going to lead the Oversight Committee,” Crockett continued.
“Ultimately I am hoping and praying that my colleagues see that I can provide what we need as a team to make sure that we can move forward and instill some confidence in the American people by knowing that they have a real fighter who will not back down even in the face of all the threats that I will have waged at me,” Crockett added. “Because Lord knows I get death threats every single day. But at the end of the day I truly believe that God will never leave my side and so I will fight fearlessly and ferociously for the American people.”
Connolly announced in April that his esophageal cancer had returned, revealing he would not seek reelection and would resign as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. Alongside Crockett, Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Stephen Lynch is also seeking the position, Politico reported.
