Updated: Nov 19, 2025
Summary
This resolution seeks to censure and condemn Delegate Stacey Plaskett and remove her from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The proposed actions stem from allegations that Plaskett inappropriately coordinated with convicted felony sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing in February 2019. This conduct is deemed to reflect discreditably on the House of Representatives and erode public trust. Specifically, the resolution asserts that Plaskett was actively coached by Epstein via text message during a House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing, receiving instructions on questioning and congratulations afterward. It highlights Epstein's known status as a convicted sex offender and Plaskett's alleged extensive political, personal, and professional connections with him post-conviction. The resolution also directs the Committee on Ethics to conduct a full investigation into Plaskett's ties to Epstein and any potential further improprieties.
