ICYMI: Congressman Eli Crane Covers Up the Epstein Files After Epstein Enablers Flood Him with Cash
FLAGSTAFF, AZ - New reports show Congressman Eli Crane was flooded with campaign money from an Epstein enabler as he spearheaded the cover up and voted to block the release of the Epstein files.
Frederic Fekkai is a celebrity hairstylist who is accused in a lawsuit of sexual abuse of Epstein’s victims and grooming girls to make them look as young as possible. From December 2024 to November 2025, just months before and after the height of the coverup, Fekkai made a series of donations to Crane’s reelection campaign.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act was introduced in July 2025 to force the public release of all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who ran a sex-trafficking ring involving underage girls.
In September, Crane declined to sign onto the resolution.
Congressman Crane continues to fight for and protect the billionaires and elites instead of his own constituents. In July of 2025, Crane voted to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which gave tax breaks to billionaires. He also refused to vote in favor of the ROAD to Housing Act, which aims to increase housing supplies and lower housing costs.
Despite sweeping tariffs costing the average American household $1,000 more per year, Crane still supports them, having voted to cede Congress’ oversight authority on reckless tariffs that are sending costs soaring for everyday Arizonans.
