Hakeem Jeffries solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein in 2013, who was convicted years earlier

Anyone stupid enough to have ever associated with Jeffrey Epstein is not fit to serve in political office.

Taking a donation is not the same as hanging out in his house for days.

An elected official soliciting donations to get re-elected from a known pedophile is worse.

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.

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.

Plaskett got donations from a number of Epstein-linked individuals between 2014 and 2020, she confirmed during a deposition.
Lesley Groff, who was there to greet Plaskett during her 2018 meeting with Epstein at his home, gave her $2,600. Epstein lawyer Darren Indyke gave $10,700, and the pedophile’s accountant Richard Kahn gave $10,700. Indyke’s administrative assistant Bella Klein gave $2,600.
“I see that,” responded Plaskett when asked the Kahn contribution, providing similar answers about the others.
Plaskett also sought money from Epstein for the Democratic Party of the US Virgin Islands, and netted $13,000 from him, according to another exhibit in the case.

The newly released documents immediately sparked a resolution by Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) to censure Plaskett, who serves as a non-voting delegate in Congress. It was narrowly defeated on a 209-214 vote amid charges of a backroom deal, with three Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

“Congress should never look the other way when a Member has a years-long financial and personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and then lies or stonewalls about it,” Norman told The Post.
“My censure resolution may have been voted down, but the facts about Ms. Plaskett’s $30,000 in contributions, his staff’s donations, and her meetings and communications with Epstein are not going away, and neither should the need for accountability.”
Plaskett did not immediately return The Post’s request for comment.
Epstein, who had spent years cultivating top USVI officials, was quick with a compliment when Plaskett wrapped up her 2019 questioning of Cohen.
“Good work,” he wrote her.

Commentary:
Methinks that Ms. Plaskett has stepped into some deep excrement that she created all on her lonesome.embarrass a long list of Democrats.
Ultimately this will expose more hypocritical Democrats and their association with Epstein.
Yeah, I've never heard of a 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 didn't want the files released, then he says “Okay, I will release them Okay. but be careful what you wish for” and it comes out that it was the commies who are knee deep in Epstein connections and excrement.
Well. Stacey Plaskett's been outed to include several other Democrats. End of story. Stand by for the next manufactured outrage from the Democrat party!
PS, has anyone ever seen a policy proposal from the Dems? Or, have they ever stated exactly what there "Fighting For" other to just spend more money and resist Trump?
