Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas has publicly questioned First Lady Melania Trump's U.S. citizenship and immigration status, specifically challenging the legitimacy of the EB1 "Einstein visa" that Melania Trump reportedly received. Crockett expressed skepticism during a House Judiciary Committee hearing and in subsequent statements, asserting that "the math ain’t mathin’" regarding Melania Trump's visa qualifications. She criticized Melania Trump's modeling career, suggesting it did not meet the high standards typically associated with recipients of the EB1 visa, which is reserved for individuals with extraordinary abilities.

Crockett compared Melania unfavorably to prominent models like Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell. The congresswoman called for an investigation into potential visa fraud. These remarks have sparked controversy and backlash, with some critics labeling Crockett's comments as disparaging and politically motivated. The issue arose amid broader debates on immigration and visa integrity in the United States.
