Stacey Plaskett’s long ties to ‘constituent’ Epstein revealed after House Dem’s texts to pedophile are exposed | 22 Nov 2025 | 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.
