Jessica Killin Targets Jeff Crank Over Epstein Files

Democratic candidate Jessica Killin released an ad accusing Republican Representative Jeff Crank of blocking the release of Jeffrey Epstein's federal files to protect Donald Trump.

Democratic congressional candidate Jessica Killin released an advertisement on Monday targeting Republican incumbent Representative Jeff Crank in Colorado's Fifth Congressional District. The ad features Sky Roberts and Amanda Roberts, the brother and sister-in-law of Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, who are constituents of the congressman.

The Roberts family accuse Crank of refusing to meet with them and blocking the release of federal files related to Epstein's crimes. They claim Crank voted to cover up the files to protect Donald Trump. While Crank eventually joined the majority of the House in approving the Epstein Files Transparency Act, he previously voted to block its consideration and declined to sign the bipartisan discharge petition that forced the vote.

This campaign move is part of a broader trend in the 2026 midterm races, where candidates are increasingly using Epstein's ties and the transparency of related federal files as central campaign issues.
