Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) introduced a House Freedom Caucus-backed censure resolution against Democratic Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett on Tuesday after her association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was revealed.
Norman’s resolution said that Epstein “actively coached” Plaskett during a House Oversight Committee meeting in 2019. It aims to censure and remove her from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Epstein’s texts with Plaskett during the Oversight Committee’s questioning of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen were revealed as part of a trove of new information released by Epstein’s estate to the committee.

Among the files was a conversation between Plaskett and Epstein that took place during the hearing. Epstein advised Plaskett on whom to ask Cohen about and what she looked like on television.
