‘Math ain’t mathin’: Jasmine Crockett torches Melania Trump over 'Einstein visa'
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), (U.S. House of Representatives)
During a House hearing on "restoring integrity in the visa process" this week, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) called out first lady Melania Trump's own visa history to illustrate the point that the Trump administration doesn't fully grasp the meaning of the word integrity.
"Integrity isn't snatching lawful visa holders off the streets and throwing them into unmarked vans," Crockett began. "Integrity is not revoking visas based on social media posts that hurt somebody's little feelings, because kids decided they wanted to go after Trump or this administration -- we have a thing called free speech in this country."
Crockett then lowered the boom.

"And, since we're talking about integrity, I'm confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren't talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the president's family's visas."
Crockett reminded the hearing participants that Melania Trump worked as a model, "and when I say, 'model,' I'm not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell-level," she quipped.
A Politico investigation from 2016 found that "racy photos" of Melania Trump published in the New York Post "inadvertently highlight[ed] inconsistencies in the various accounts she has provided over the years" about her visa process.
Crockett continued that the now-first lady eventually applied for and was given an EB1 visa, which is commonly referred to as an "Einstein visa."
"Now, y'all that don't know, let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa," Crockett continued. "You're supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer; being an Olympic medalist; or having other sustained extraordinary abilities and success in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. Last time I checked the first lady had none of those accolades under her belt."
Crockett concluded, "It doesn't take an Einstein to see that the math ain't mathin' here."

The EB1 visa is an employment-based first-preference visa for individuals with extraordinary abilities, outstanding professors and researchers, or multinational executives and managers, allowing them to live and work permanently in the U.S.

Longtime Trump biographer Michael Wolff says that First Lady Melania could be the missing link in President Donald Trump’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff told Daily Beast Podcast host Joanna Coles that Melania was “very involved” in Epstein’s social circle and noted that this is how she met Trump.

“She’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She’s introduced to Trump that way. Epstein [knew] her well,” Wolff said.
