Jeffrey Epstein was texting with a Democratic lawmaker before she questioned President Donald Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, during a 2019 hearing and advised what questions she should ask, according to a report.
Stacey Plaskett, the U.S. Virgin Islands non-voting delegate, appeared to be messaging with the late disgraced financier in February 2019 while the hearing into Trump was ongoing and asked Epstein for guidance in one message, the Washington Post reports. Her office confirmed to the paper that she had received texts from Epstein.
