RESOLUTION 
Censuring and condemning Delegate Stacey Plaskett and 
removing her from the House Permanent Select Com-
mittee on Intelligence for conduct that reflects discredit-
ably on the House of Representatives for colluding with 
convicted felony sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a

Whereas Stacey Plaskett, the Delegate representing the

fender Jeffrey Epstein in a congressional hearing in Feb-
ruary 2019; 
Whereas Delegate Plaskett was actively coached by Epstein 
during the hearing, received instructions on specific lines 
of questioning, and was congratulated afterwards with 
the message ‘‘Good work’’; 
Whereas Jeffrey Epstein was a known, convicted felony sex 
offender, having pled guilty and been convicted for pro-
curing a child for prostitution and of soliciting a pros-
titute in a plea deal in 2008, and served a 13-month sen-
tence; 
Whereas, in the course of that investigation, the FBI com-
piled reports on dozens of confirmed minors who credibly 
alleged sexual abuse by Epstein; 
Whereas Epstein was under further Federal investigation be-
ginning in November 2018, two months before Delegate 
Plaskett’s recently revealed text exchange during a con-
gressional hearing, following investigative reporting by 
the Miami Herald detailing Epstein’s controversial 2008 
plea deal and highlighting accounts of his victims; 
Whereas Epstein was arrested in July 2019 and charged with 
one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of 
conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors, and he 
was later found dead in the New York Metropolitan Cor-
rectional Center; 
Whereas, according to documents released from Epstein’s es-
tate, during a House Committee on Oversight and Re-
form hearing featuring testimony from Michael Cohen, 
disgraced former attorney to President Donald J. Trump, 
Delegate Plaskett coordinated her line of questioning

with Jeffrey Epstein in real-time over text message while 
the hearing was underway; 
Whereas Delegate Plaskett, who previously served as an as-
sistant attorney general in the U.S. Department of Jus-
tice Civil Division, is known to have had extensive polit-
ical, personal, and professional connections with Epstein 
after his conviction as a sex offender up to the time of 
his arrest and then death in 2019; 
Whereas Delegate Plaskett’s relationship with Epstein stands 
in stark contrast to the public image she has curated for 
herself as a defender of justice and accountability while 
secretly collaborating with an individual whose crimes 
against vulnerable women and children shocked the na-
tion; 
Whereas Delegate Plaskett’s willingness to receive instruc-
tions on official congressional proceedings from Epstein, 
a convicted felony sex offender with deeply concerning 
international associations, is especially alarming and in-
appropriate given her own past service in the U.S. De-
partment of Justice and her current role on the House 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and raises 
serious questions about Delegate Plaskett’s judgement, 
integrity, and fitness to serve; and 
Whereas such associations erode public trust in Congress, 
particularly when they involve using input from a sex of-
fender to advance partisan attacks during official pro-
ceedings: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, 
SECTION 1. CENSURE OF DELEGATE STACEY PLASKETT.
