New information has emerged linking Democratic Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett to Jeffrey Epstein through released documents. These connections indicate ongoing interactions even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for sex crimes.
• Stacey Plaskett, a Democratic Delegate from the U. S. Virgin Islands, has been identified in emails from 2014 as having arranged a visit to Epstein's island.
• Correspondence shows that Plaskett communicated with Epstein back in 2017, including scheduling phone calls and discussing fundraising for her political campaigns.
• Specific instances include a text Plaskett sent to Epstein thanking him for sharing ideas and expressing friendship, to which Epstein responded positively.
• Further texts reveal friendly exchanges, such as Epstein wishing Plaskett a happy birthday and commenting on her appearance during a congressional hearing.
• In February 2019, during a House hearing, Epstein texted Plaskett to compliment her outfit and later acknowledged her performance in questioning a witness, indicating a close relationship.
• Despite the revelations, a motion to censure Plaskett in November failed. Republican Representative Ralph Norman criticized the relationship, stating that no one should seek advice from a convicted predator, especially in official proceedings.
The documents expose significant ties between Plaskett and Epstein, raising ethical questions about her conduct while serving on the Intelligence Committee. The failure to censure her highlights ongoing divisions in Congress regarding accountability and trust in the institution.
