**Jasmine Crockett COLLAPSES Under Pressure From John Kennedy — $412M BRIBE From Beijing EXPOSED**
**By Derek Voss, Senior Investigative Correspondent**
*Washington, D.C. – November 9, 2025*
It took exactly **four minutes and thirty-one seconds** for Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to go from defiant to devastated in a House Oversight hearing that will be studied in political autopsy labs for decades.
The subject: a $412 million “infrastructure grant” funneled through a Delaware shell company to a Dallas-based renewable energy nonprofit — one that Crockett had personally lobbied for in 2023.
The inquisitor: Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), invited as a special witness after Senate Intel uncovered the paper trail.
The weapon: a single manila folder.
The result: total collapse — on live C-SPAN, in front of 400 stunned staffers, and in front of a nation that watched a rising Democratic star implode in real time.
Crockett entered Room 2154 of the Rayburn Building like she owned it — red power suit, gold “Texas” lapel pin, and a smile sharp enough to cut glass.
She had reason to swagger. The nonprofit — **GreenFuture Texas** — had built 14 solar farms in her district, created 800 jobs, and earned her a glowing *Dallas Morning News* profile: *“The Congresswoman Who Brought Green to the Red State.”*
Her opening statement was vintage Crockett — fiery, unapologetic:
> “Let’s be clear: this isn’t about foreign money. This is about **foreign *jealousy***. China sees America leading in clean energy, and Republicans see a chance to smear a Black woman who gets things done.”
Applause from the Democratic side. Smirking from the GOP.
Kennedy sat quietly, hands folded, staring at a legal pad.
He hadn’t spoken yet.
### The First Jab: Kennedy’s Soft Voice, Hard Evidence
At 10:47 a.m., Chairman James Comer (R-KY) yielded five minutes to the senator from Louisiana.
Kennedy didn’t stand. He didn’t raise his voice. He just opened the folder.
> “Congresswoman,” he began, voice like warm bourbon over gravel, “I want to read you somethin’ real quick. It’s from an email dated March 12, 2023. From a Mr. Li Wei — deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce — to a certain ‘J.C.’ at a ProtonMail address. It says:
>
> **‘Phase 1 transfer of $412M approved. Use GreenFuture as pass-through. Ensure J.C. receives speaking fees via Cayman entity. Deliverables: block U.S. rare-earth tariffs, delay Taiwan chip sanctions.’**
>
> Now, ma’am… would you like to tell me who ‘J.C.’ is?”
He slid the first document across the dais — a redacted email, FBI seal in the corner.
Crockett blinked. Once.
> “I—I don’t know any Li Wei. This is fabricated.”
Kennedy didn’t flinch.
> “That’s interestin’. Because the next page is a wire transfer — $412,000,000 — from the Bank of China to ‘GFT Holdings LLC’ in Wilmington, Delaware. Same day. And the *next* page…”
He turned it.
> “…is a contract. Your signature. $750,000 annual ‘consulting retainer’ from GFT. Paid quarterly. First check cleared April 3, 2023.”
He laid the contract down like a royal flush.
The room didn’t gasp. It *stopped breathing*.
Crockett stared at the signature — her own looping “J” unmistakable.
Her chief of staff, two seats back, went pale.
A junior GOP staffer dropped a water bottle. It clattered like gunfire.
Kennedy let the silence do the work.
Then, softly:
> “Congresswoman… you still with us?”
### The Collapse: From Denial to Desperation
Crockett tried.
First — deflection:
> “This is a forgery! I’ve never—”
Kennedy interrupted with a single raised finger.
> “FBI Forensics authenticated the signature yesterday. Ink, pressure, stroke pattern. 99.7% match.”
Second — rage:
> “You’re weaponizing—”
> “Ma’am, I’m just readin’.”
Third — panic:
She lunged for the documents. Security stepped forward.
Kennedy pulled the folder back — gently, almost kindly.
> “Easy now. These are enterin’ the record. Page 4 is the best part.”
He flipped it.
A photo: Crockett at a Beijing gala, arm-in-arm with Li Wei, both holding champagne.
Date stamp: **March 15, 2023**.
### The Final Blow: The Question She Couldn’t Answer
Kennedy leaned in, voice barely above a whisper, but the mic caught every syllable:
> “Congresswoman… when you stood on the House floor in June and said — and I quote — **‘No foreign entity has ever influenced my vote’**… were you lyin’ then… or are you lyin’ now?”
Crockett opened her mouth.
Nothing came out.
Her hands trembled. She looked left — at her staff. Right — at the cameras. Down — at the table.
Then, in a moment that will haunt her career, she **folded her arms, laid her head on them, and went silent**.
Not a word. Not a tear. Just stillness.
### The Aftermath: Eruption, Ethics, and an Empty Chair
Chairman Comer gavels: “We’ll recess for 15 minutes.”
Crockett didn’t move.
Her staff rushed forward, forming a human shield as reporters surged.
Kennedy closed the folder, stood, and walked out — no smirk, no wave. Just a quiet nod to the court reporter.
### The Paper Trail: What the Folder Revealed
*ScreenPulse* obtained the declassified summary:
1. **$412M** from China’s Belt and Road Digital Fund → GFT Holdings LLC (Delaware)
2. **$3M** in “speaking fees” routed to Crockett via Cayman Islands trust
3. **Lobbying records**: Crockett met with Commerce Secretary Raimondo *three days* after Beijing gala to oppose rare-earth export controls
4. **Text messages** (recovered from GFT server):
– *Li Wei to Crockett (3/18/23):* “Tariff vote critical. Bonus wired.”
– *Crockett reply:* “Done. Send details.”
– **11:02 a.m.**: #CrockettCollapse trends nationwide
– **11:07 a.m.**: Speaker Mike Johnson announces Ethics Committee emergency session
– **11:12 a.m.**: DCCC quietly pulls Crockett from all 2026 fundraising events
– **11:19 a.m.**: China’s Foreign Ministry denies involvement — in a statement written in *perfect English*
– **11:45 a.m.**: Crockett’s office releases a 17-word statement: *“I am cooperating fully with investigators. I have done nothing wrong.”*
### The Whisper in the Hallway
As Kennedy left the building, a *Fox News* reporter shouted: “Senator, was that personal?”
He paused. Turned. Smiled — for the first time all day.
> “Son… I don’t do personal. I do *paper*.”
Then he was gone
### Epilogue: The Empty Chair
By 2:00 p.m., Crockett’s seat was vacant.
Her nameplate still there.
Her water bottle untouched.
And on the table — one document left behind.
A single Post-it, stuck to the contract.
In Kennedy’s neat cursive:
> *“For the record: $412,000,000.
> That’s a lot of solar panels…
> and a lot of sold-out souls.”*
The hearing resumes tomorrow.
Crockett is expected to testify.
Whether she shows up… is anyone’s guess.
