Sheryl Crow is amplifying the public outcry for Donald Trump to face legal accountability regarding his ties to the late, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The musician’s comments follow the massive unsealing of three million pages of Justice Department documents that shed light on Epstein’s vast web of influential associates.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the Grammy-winning artist pointed out a stark contrast in how international figures are being handled compared to those in the U.S. “Those named in the Epstein files in other countries are going down hard for it. Not in America,” she noted, expressing frustration over the domestic dismissiveness toward the evidence.
Crow continued her critique by challenging the moral integrity of the nation. “Who are we if we do not stand up for children who are knowingly being [peddled] to rich leaders all over the world?” she asked. She went on to demand severe consequences, stating that Trump, along with any other politician—regardless of their party affiliation—who remained silent while aware of these crimes, deserves “impeachment and imprisonment.”
While Donald Trump has consistently denied any criminal involvement with Epstein, and DOJ Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche recently indicated there was no immediate cause for further investigation into the president’s role, the sheer volume of data is difficult to ignore. According to reports from The New York Times, the former president, Melania Trump, and their Mar-a-Lago residence appear in the records at least 38,000 times.
Crow’s sentiments are shared by fellow rocker Jack White, who recently condemned Trump on social media. White urged for the former president to be jailed, citing his frequent mentions in the Epstein files and criticizing him for sharing a racially offensive video online.
This advocacy is nothing new for Crow, who has frequently used her music to address political corruption. Last summer, she released “The New Normal,” a biting anthem that critiqued the erosion of truth and morality in modern leadership, specifically questioning a world where “nothing’s immoral” to the leaders of the free world.
