Jeffrey Epstein’s role as a benefactor to Stacey Plaskett has become a focal point as records show that he provided financial support to her political campaigns while she was serving as the congressional delegate for the U.S. Virgin Islands. Multiple donations were made by Epstein and individuals connected to him over several election cycles, reportedly totaling tens of thousands of dollars. These contributions have fueled criticism that Plaskett benefited directly from Epstein’s wealth and influence at a time when many institutions and public figures were distancing themselves from him following his 2008 conviction.


Beyond the money, Epstein’s relationship with Plaskett raised questions of personal access and influence. Communications released in recent months show that Epstein texted Plaskett during the high-profile 2019 congressional hearing featuring Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen, suggesting talking points and strategy in real time as she questioned witnesses. That exchange has been widely interpreted as evidence that Epstein saw Plaskett not merely as a politician he supported, but as someone he could advise, confide in, and potentially influence on matters of national visibility. Plaskett has denied any improper relationship, characterizing Epstein as nothing more than a constituent, but the revelations have sparked intense scrutiny over how close the two actually were and why Epstein felt comfortable inserting himself into her congressional work.
