Newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein files just detonated a political nuke on Capitol Hill! The late sex-trafficker was texting Democrat Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett LIVE during a 2019 House hearing grilling Trump fixer Michael Cohen—and his sleazy suggestions may have hijacked her questions, the Daily Caller reports. The explosive messages, dumped by the House Oversight Committee, show Epstein glued to the TV, coaching Plaskett like a puppet master.

“Hes [sic] opened the door to questions re who are the other henchmen at trump org,” Epstein texted. Plaskett fired back, “Yup. Very aware and waiting my turn.” Then, after Cohen name-dropped Trump aide Rhona Graff, Epstein pounced: “Cohen brought up RONA – keeper of the secrets.”

Plaskett, panicking: “RONA?? Quick I’m up next is that an acronym. [sic]” Epstein: “Thats [sic] his assistant.”Seconds later—BOOM—Plaskett demands Cohen cough up names and zeroes in on Graff. Coincidence? Hardly! This wasn’t chit-chat; Epstein was running the show from his island lair.

Plaskett’s office has shrugged it off, claiming she gets texts from “staff, constituents, and the public”—including Epstein—while touting her anti-trafficking cred. Really? The same Epstein who donated to her campaign (money she only returned after public outrage) and whose Virgin Islands empire landed her in a 2023 victim lawsuit—dismissed, sure, but the stench lingers.
