Neurosurgeon Jeffrey Epstein Jokes ‘I Should Contribute Money to Jasmine Crockett’

Dr. Jeffrey Epstein — a Long Island neurosurgeon mistakenly linked to the infamous sex trafficker — says he has a clever way to respond to Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who implied his name alone was suspicious.

“I think that I should contribute money to Jasmine Crockett and then let everybody know that she also took money from Jeffrey Epstein,” the doctor told The Post on Thursday.

Crockett made headlines after boasting on the House floor that she was “gonna expose it all” when she discovered “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein” had donated to former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY). The donor was the neurosurgeon, not the convicted criminal.

The mix-up went viral. The doctor says he’s ready to set the record straight — and have some fun doing it.

“Until she said something, it was never an issue,” Epstein said when asked if he’s ever been confused for the well-connected sex criminal in the past.

“I say my name and sometimes people will give me a look, or whatever,” he acknowledged.

Epstein’s response to awkward questions?

“I always look at them and say, ‘I don’t understand,’ and I make it like I’m dumb,” he said.

“Listen, that’s my name,” Epstein continued, seemingly annoyed by the fuss over his name.

“If my name was Jeffrey Dahmer when that whole thing came out – do you think that would be a problem?” he added. “Listen, anytime a doppelganger is tied to a less-than-desirable, it’s never a good situation.”

“But it doesn’t matter to me. I could[n’t] care less.”

The only thing that bothers the doc about having the name Jeffrey Epstein is “people like you calling me to ask me these questions.”

“Don’t take that the wrong way, but you couldn’t understand that – otherwise it doesn’t bother me in the least.”
