Embattled Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-USVI) had far deeper connections to Jeffrey Epstein than she let on this week while fighting a House resolution to censure her, The Post has learned.
On Wednesday, Plaskett downplayed Epstein as just another “constituent,” after files released by Epstein’s estate revealed he fed her questions during a congressional hearing in 2019, prompting the call for the House sanction.
But exhibits and depositions in a New York court case reveal the convicted pedophile and his associates shoveled at least $30,000 in campaign funds to Plaskett over three election cycles.
Plaskett, a lawyer and former federal prosecutor who moved to the islands in 2005 and worked for the local economic development authority, first met Epstein at his office in St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands after identifying him as a “potential donor” during her initial run for Congress in 2014.
She said she met him more than once, and spoke to him on the phone more than five times — but responded “I do not recall” when asked in a 2023 deposition if it was more than 10.
In a June 2014 email, then-US Virgin Islands first lady Cecile de Jongh wrote to the financier on behalf of Plaskett.
“Jeffrey, Your help is needed. We are trying to get Stacey Plaskett elected to Congress … we would have a friend in Stacey … Do you think any of your friends would give to her campaign?”
At the time, de Jongh managed Epstein’s USVI companies. Epstein already pleaded guilty to sex crimes in 2008.

Yeah Ive never heard of congress member having a cell phone number of a “Constituent” before at least one that she is comfortable with texting for advice during a hearing..Trump played this perfectly, pretend he didnt want the files released, then he says “OK I will release them OK but be careful what you wish for” and it comes out that it was the commies who are knee deep in Epstein connections
.......exhibits and depositions in a NY court case reveal convicted pedophile Epstein and his associates
shoveled at least $30,000 in campaign funds to Democrat Rep Plaskett over three election cycles..........
Which Democrat Plaskett is keeping hidden........
Why does the House of Representatives need Virgin delegate?
Doesn’t the HR already have enough idiots? Why do we need a coconut who “studied law” under the retarded Jamie Ratskin?
Jamie Ratskin. A close buddy.
How much are they paying this coconut to do nothing but talk on the phone to America haters and her Virgin constituents?
The chutzpah is strong in this one. This wasn’t jyst some random hearing. Plaskett was colluding with Epstein to nail Trump’s azz to the wall about his association with Epstein and ended up hoisting herself up on her own petard because of her association with Epstein.
One thing we know for sure....she didn’t ‘work’ at Epstein Island.
Yuck!
