Bill > HRes888

This resolution censures and condemns Delegate Stacey Plaskett, who represents the U.S. Virgin Islands in the House of Representatives, for allegedly coordinating with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing in February 2019. The resolution asserts that Plaskett was actively coached by Epstein during the hearing, receiving specific instructions on questioning and subsequently receiving a "Good work" message. The document highlights Epstein's criminal history, including his conviction for procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute, and notes that he was under federal investigation at the time. The resolution calls for two primary actions: first, to formally censure Plaskett for conduct that reflects poorly on the House of Representatives, and second, to remove her from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Additionally, the resolution directs the Committee on Ethics to conduct a full investigation into Plaskett's connections with Epstein and potential further improprieties. The resolution emphasizes that Plaskett's actions, particularly given her previous role as an assistant attorney general, raise serious questions about her judgment, integrity, and fitness to serve in her current congressional role.
