Buckle up, patriots—a stunning revelation has surfaced showing Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted criminal, meddling in a congressional hearing to smear former President Donald Trump.
Documents recently made public on Nov. 13, 2025, expose Epstein texting Rep. Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat from the U.S. Virgin Islands, during a Feb. 27, 2019, House Oversight Committee hearing, directing her questions to tarnish Trump’s image over alleged payments to mistresses before the 2016 election, as New York Post reports.
Trump, let’s be clear, has categorically rejected these accusations as baseless.
On that day in 2019, Epstein was tuned into the hearing on television, watching Michael Cohen, Trump’s ex-attorney, testify about supposed hush money dealings.
He texted Plaskett about Cohen mentioning Rhona Graff, a former Trump executive assistant, though he flubbed her name as “RONA” in the message.
Plaskett, unsure of the reference, shot back a text asking if it was some kind of code, signaling her turn to interrogate Cohen was imminent.
Epstein clarified it was Trump’s assistant, and at 12:25 p.m. on Feb. 27, 2019, nudged her to probe deeper into other key players at Trump’s company, texting, “Hes opened the door to questions re who are the other henchmen at trump org,” per the released records.
Plaskett confirmed she was on board, ready to act on the tip. Isn’t it alarming that a figure with Epstein’s record was playing puppet master in a public hearing?
By 2:28 p.m. that day, she was questioning Cohen about Graff and other associates Epstein had pointed out, following the script almost to the letter.
At 2:34 p.m., just after her questioning wrapped up, Epstein sent a congratulatory note, texting, “Good work,” according to the documents. One has to wonder what kind of “work” gets applause from someone with his rap sheet.
These unsettling messages were unearthed from roughly 20,000 pages of records from Epstein’s estate, released by the House Oversight Committee on Nov. 13, 2025.
Though Plaskett’s identity was initially obscured in the files, the Washington Post pieced together the texts and hearing footage to confirm she was indeed in contact with Epstein.
At the time of the 2019 hearing, Epstein was already convicted on state prostitution charges, and later that year faced charges for sex trafficking minors, with federal authorities pointing to his U.S. Virgin Islands properties—Great Saint James and Little Saint James—as hubs for his criminal activities.
Plaskett initially kept silent on the matter, but after the story broke on the evening of Nov. 14, 2025, her office admitted she received messages from various sources during the hearing, including Epstein, while in July 2019, she promised to return $8,100 in campaign contributions from him after first planning to keep the money.
Adding to the unease, in June 2023, Plaskett stumbled verbally on MSNBC over Trump’s handling of classified documents, correcting herself to say he should be “stopped,” while Trump, earlier in the week of Nov. 15, 2025, demanded a Department of Justice probe into Epstein’s ties to prominent Democratic figures and entities like JP Morgan Chase, with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Nov. 15, 2025, assigning Jay Clayton of the Southern District of New York to investigate with urgency. It’s past time to peel back the layers of influence peddling without the progressive fog that often obscures accountability.
