A top House Democrat<\/a> is pushing back on calls for a probe into Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, hiring a wanted fugitive as a security guard before he was fatally shot in a standoff with SWAT officers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if that’s the House’s place to investigate,” Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, 39, who used the alias “Mike King” while employed by Crockett, was shot and killed by Dallas SWAT<\/a> officers earlier in March after a standoff in a hospital parking garage. Police were responding to an active warrant for him after allegedly impersonating law enforcement and recovered 11 firearms during the operation, some of which were stolen.<\/p>\n

“It depends if she was using campaign money or House resources, but that’s something for House Administration [Committee] to deal with if that’s the case,” Aguilar added.<\/p>\n

Crockett\u2019s office paid King at least $6,300 for security services in 2025, according to a Fox News Digital review of Crockett\u2019s members representational allowance (MRA). The congresswoman’s House campaign account also doled out $340 to King for security services in March 2025, according to Federal Election Commission filings.<\/p>\n

The MRA funding bucket \u2014 made up of taxpayer dollars \u2014 is effectively an operating budget for each lawmaker to pay staff, cover security expenses, and handle other operational costs.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the House Administration Committee for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crockett has denied any wrongdoing and said her office followed every House protocol while employing Robinson, who she claimed did not raise any suspicions while a member of her security detail.<\/p>\n

“There was never any reason to suspect that he wasn\u2019t who he held himself out to be,” Crockett said in a statement released by her office.<\/p>\n

Rather, Crockett has blamed “shortcomings” in the vetting process that failed to verify Robinson\u2019s identity or catch his lengthy rap sheet, including multiple arrests for theft and violating probation.<\/p>\n

“We are fortunate that this is someone who used those loopholes without malice,” Crockett said, adding that a preliminary review showed that Robinson had not committed any violent crimes.<\/p>\n

Crockett dismissed questions about whether she knew about Robinson\u2019s criminal history<\/a> before hiring him during a recent interview with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m going to refer you to my page,” the Texas Democrat said, referring to her social media post. “I made a statement and I said there would be no additional statements. You need someone to read it for you? I can find someone to do that.”<\/p>\n

House GOP leadership has voiced openness to a probe, but cautioned that lawmakers are still learning details about the incident.<\/p>\n

“I need to get the facts on did he have a background check \u2026 but there are processes in place,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital. “We’ll look at the possible need to tighten that up.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, did not answer definitively when asked by Fox News Digital whether Republicans planned to investigate the incident, saying he was still reviewing the matter.<\/p>\n

Aguilar said he did not expect Republicans to launch a formal investigation, citing Crockett\u2019s loss in the Texas Senate primary against state legislator James Talarico, D-Texas.<\/p>\n

“Jasmine didn’t win, so I assume that they’re probably not going to be focused on her as much,” Aguilar said, referring to House Republicans<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rep. James Walkinshaw, D-Va., said the incident is likely to spark conversations among lawmakers about scrutinizing the vetting process lawmakers use for security personnel.<\/p>\n

“We need to tighten up the processes around members hiring security,” Walkinshaw told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Crockett\u2019s office did not respond to a request for comment about how Robinson was vetted before being hired as a member of her security detail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
