Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 5, 2026 — A new television attack advertisement has emerged targeting U.S. Representative Jeff Crank, a Republican representing Colorado’s 5th Congressional District. The ad features relatives of Virginia Giuffre, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, and accuses Crank of specific actions related to the release of federal files concerning Epstein.
The advertisement, which is being funded by Crank’s Democratic challenger, Jessica Killin, alleges that Representative Crank has refused to meet with Giuffre’s relatives. Furthermore, the ad claims that Crank voted to “cover up” the release of federal documents pertaining to Epstein.
In response to the ad’s claims, Crank’s campaign has issued a denial. The campaign stated that Representative Crank actually voted in favor of releasing the federal files. The campaign also accused Jessica Killin of mischaracterizing facts and criticized her for what they described as exploiting a grieving family for political gain.
The exact names of the relatives appearing in the advertisement were not provided in the summary. Details regarding the specific nature or date of Representative Crank’s vote concerning the release of these federal files, beyond his campaign’s assertion that he voted for their release, were also not detailed.
