On Monday, the Wall Street Journal released the photo of the lewd card President Donald Trump allegedly sent to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003 containing a crude drawing of a naked woman, setting off a firestorm of criticism on social media. But one leading House Democrat thinks one newer photo is even worse for the president.

During an interview with CNN host Kaitlan Collins on her show "The Source," Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) — who sits on the House Oversight Committee – argued that a new photo that Oversight Committee Democrats released on Monday night was "more incriminating" than the birthday message. The photo appears to show a young woman whose face is redacted standing next to a grinning Trump along with a Mar-a-Lago club member and Epstein, all holding an enlarged check made out for $22,500 with "DJTRUMP" in the signature field.

"Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells 'fully depreciated' [REDACTED] to Donald Trump for $22,500," read a handwritten note accompanying the photo, which is similar in appearance to Epstein's handwriting style. "Showed early 'people skills' too. Even though I handled the deal I didn't get any of the money or the girl!"

"The birthday [card] just makes him look like a creep. But this, it's joking about selling a woman," Crockett said. "When and why is that ever funny? And why is it that they would say that he would be one that would be buying a woman?"

"It's really disturbing. And honestly, it's really a sad day in this country that this is the guy that is leading our nation," she continued. "I mean, we used to care about the morality of a leader, but when you're looking at this and you're looking at his actions, overall, it doesn't seem like he has a moral compass or that he has an honest bone in his body."

Crockett stressed that the release of the Epstein evidence the House Oversight Committee has obtained from Epstein's estate is ongoing, and that Democrats are aiming to subpoena several unnamed individuals for potential hearings in the future. She added that Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), who is the ranking member of the Oversight Committee, is working with attorneys to make sure victims' names are redacted along with any identifying information.
