Report Says Rep. Jasmine Crockett Omitted Dozens of Stock Holdings and Debts

The records-driven exposé revives questions about her disclosures as ethics groups urge scrutiny.

Overview

  • The Washington Free Beacon reported on Oct. 27 that public records show gaps in Crockett’s financial disclosures, based on documents obtained via a records request.
  • Texas filings for 2021 listed at least 25 stocks not included in her first federal disclosure for the same year, including Amazon, ExxonMobil, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, General Motors, AT&T, and Aurora Cannabis.
  • The Texas documents also reported at least $110,000 in liabilities to Texans Federal Credit Union, Wells Fargo, and an individual named Ben Babcock that were absent from her federal filing.
  • Separate records identify Crockett as a 20 percent owner and the primary contact for Black Diamond Investments, which unsuccessfully sought Ohio marijuana dispensary licenses from 2018 to 2020.
  • Watchdogs said the discrepancies raise conflict-of-interest concerns and merit possible inquiry, while her office did not respond to requests for comment and no formal House investigation was reported.
