House Democrat Exchanged Texts With Epstein On How To Hurt Trump During 2019 Congressional Hearing: Docs
Jeffrey Epstein was
feeding questions to
Rep. Stacey Plaskett during a 2019 congressional hearing — and giving her real time help on how to damage President Trump’s reputation, newly released documents show.
The texts,
first reported by the Washington Post, show the convicted pedophile pontificating with Plaskett during a Feb. 27, 2019 House Oversight Committee hearing in which the then-former president’s ex-attorney Michael Cohen testified about Trump’s alleged payments to mistresses to silence stories before the 2016 election. Trump has vehemently denied all allegations.
In the texts, Epstein appeared to be watching on television while Cohen brought up former Trump executive assistant Rhona Graff in his testimony.

Documents show Jeffrey Epstein was feeding questions to Rep. Stacey Plaskett during a 2019 congressional hearing to ruin Trump’s reputation.
“Cohen brought up RONA – keeper of the secrets,” Epstein texted, misspelling Graff’s first name.
“RONA??” responded Plaskett, a non-voting delegate representing the US Virgin Islands. “Quick I’m up next is that an acronym,” she added, suggesting she’d grill Cohen soon.
“Thats his assistant,” Epstein replied.
The text messages also show Epstein influenced what questions Cohen asked.
“Hes opened the door to questions re who are the other henchmen at trump org,” Epstein texted Plaskett at 12:25 p.m.
“Yup. Very aware and waiting my turn,” she responded.
Plaskett began questioning Cohen at 2:28 p.m. and asked about Graff, as well as with other Trump associates Epstein had mentioned, according to the Washington Post.
At 2:34 p.m, Epstein told Plaskett “Good work”— a minute after Plaskett finished her questioning.
The documents redacted Plaskett’s name, but the newspaper analyzed the messages and compared them to hearing footage to report Plaskett was indeed texting Epstein.
Plaskett initially declined comment, but after the newspaper published it’s story Friday night her office issued a statement conforming she had contact during the hearing with her former campaign donor
In June 2023, Plaskett made headlines when she tripped over her tongue on MSNBC,
saying Trump "needs to be shot" over his
alleged mishandling of classified documents before quickly correcting herself to say that he should be “stopped.”
