Stacey Plaskett

S. Virgin Islands delegate to Congress (2015-present) and former Assistant District Attorney in the Bronx. Plaskett appears in at least 2 EFTA documents (EFTA01806015, EFTA01977987) with subject lines referencing meetings with her. In February 2019, during the House Oversight Committee hearing on Michael Cohen's testimony, Epstein exchanged text messages with Plaskett in real time, a fact later revealed in released documents. Plaskett's USVI district encompasses St.

Thomas and Little St. James, the island Epstein owned and used as a primary location for trafficking. In 2020, the USVI Attorney General's office filed a civil enforcement action against the Epstein estate; Plaskett was not implicated in any wrongdoing but the geographic and political overlap between her constituency and Epstein's operations raised questions about the extent of Epstein's political influence in the territory. Plaskett received campaign contributions from Epstein: $5,400 in 2016 and $2,700 in 2018. After Epstein's arrest, Plaskett donated the contributions to charity.

In February 2026, Plaskett was among the members of Congress who received unredacted Epstein files and participated in oversight hearings on the DOJ's handling of the release.
