Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, the Long Island neurosurgeon who Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) suggested could be the notorious sex trafficker<\/a>, told The Post Thursday about the masterstroke of revenge he could dish out on the loud-mouthed congresswoman who dragged his name through the mud.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that I should contribute money to Jasmine Crockett and then let everybody know that she also took money from Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d Epstein told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crockett<\/a> boasted on the House floor this week that she was \u201cgonna expose it all\u201d after her discovery that \u201csomebody named Jeffrey Epstein\u201d donated to the campaign of former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY).\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her rant, the Texas Democrat strongly implied that the Manhasset doctor\u2019s April and August 2020 contributions to Zeldin, who is now head of the Environmental Protection Agency, were actually from the convicted pedophile \u2014 despite the fact that the $1,000 donations were made months after the disgraced financier died in a Manhattan jail cell<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil she said something, it was never an issue,\u201d Epstein said when asked if he\u2019s ever been confused for the well-connected sex criminal in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI say my name and sometimes people will give me a look, or whatever,\u201d he acknowledged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Epstein\u2019s response to awkward questions?<\/p>\n

\u201cI always look at them and say, \u2018I don\u2019t understand,\u2019 and I make it like I\u2019m dumb,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, that\u2019s my name,\u201d Epstein continued, seemingly annoyed by the fuss over his name.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf my name was Jeffrey Dahmer when that whole thing came out \u2014 do you think that would be a problem?\u201d he added. \u201cListen, anytime a doppelganger is tied to a less-than-desirable, it\u2019s never a good situation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it doesn\u2019t matter to me. I could[n\u2019t] care less.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The only thing that bothers the doc about having the name Jeffrey Epstein is \u201cpeople like you calling me to ask me these questions.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t take that the wrong way, but you couldn\u2019t understand that \u2014 otherwise it doesn\u2019t bother me in the least.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, the Long Island neurosurgeon who Rep.
