Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow has publicly called for former U.S. President Donald Trump to be “impeached and imprisoned” following the release of documents tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, sparking renewed debate about accountability for powerful figures allegedly connected to the late sex offender.

In an impassioned post on her Instagram Stories, Crow criticized what she described as unequal treatment in how the Epstein files are being handled. She wrote that while individuals named in other countries are facing serious consequences, in the United States “we’re just going to act like it never happened or that it’s fake.” She added, “Who are we if we do not stand up for children who are knowingly being pedaled to rich leaders all over the world,” arguing that Trump should be held to the same standards as others.

Crow extended her call beyond Trump, saying that “Trump needs to be impeached and imprisoned along with every other person… Democrat, Republican, American, or foreign who knew this was going on and never said anything.” Her remarks reflect growing frustration among some public figures and advocates who believe that the release of more than three million pages of emails, videos, and other documents should prompt more rigorous accountability.

The newly disclosed files, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, reference hundreds of high-profile individuals and have reignited public interest in the scope of Epstein’s network — although authorities have said that many documents do not constitute evidence of criminal conduct on their own.

Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein, has publicly distanced himself from the financier in past statements. Crow’s comments come amid broader conversations about justice for Epstein’s victims and what many see as gaps in how powerful individuals are scrutinized compared with actions taken against figures abroad.

Ed | 1 week ago | Reply She says we have to stand up for children. Where was her concern when thousands of children were subjected to human trafficking labor and sex during the Biden years when they were allowed to cross the border without any follow up as to who was taking them and where they were going.
