Fact Check: Did Jasmine Crockett Request a Federal Probe into Erika Kirk?
Rumors have circulated online claiming that Representative Jasmine Crockett sought a federal investigation into Erika Kirk, wife of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, regarding a $350,000 transfer reportedly made before Charlie Kirk’s death.
Background
Following the death of Charlie Kirk on September 10, Erika Kirk, who is also the current CEO of Turning Point USA, drew viral attention on social media. However, the focus was less on the death itself and more on allegations about financial transactions that allegedly occurred shortly before his passing.
Alleged Financial Transaction
Viral posts asserted that Erika Kirk received $350,000 from a Delaware-based shell company shortly before Charlie Kirk died. It was also claimed that this company dissolved four days after the transfer.
"She thought no one would notice. But leaked records tell a different story. Two weeks before her husband’s mysterious death, a $350,000 transfer hit Erika Kirk’s account — wired from a shell company that dissolved four days later."
Verification Status
Despite the widespread nature of these claims on platforms like X, no official confirmation has been provided indicating that Representative Jasmine Crockett requested any federal probe into Erika Kirk or that such a transaction was connected to an investigation.
Summary
The narrative linking Jasmine Crockett to ordering a federal probe based on the alleged $350,000 transfer to Erika Kirk remains unsubstantiated and appears to be misinformation.
Author's summary: Rumors that Representative Jasmine Crockett initiated a federal investigation into Erika Kirk over a $350,000 payment lack credible evidence and remain unconfirmed despite viral online claims.
