Stacey Plaskett is an American politician and attorney who has served as the delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives for the U.S. Virgin Islands' at-large congressional district since 2015. A former lawyer who has practiced in New York City, Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands, her role grants her a voice in congressional proceedings, though she does not have a full vote on the House floor.
Her position has made her a notable figure in Congress, particularly visible during significant legislative and investigative events. She previously gained national attention as a House manager during the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, where she helped present the case to the Senate.
Plaskett has recently been in the news due to her involvement in a high-profile congressional effort. This concerns the passage of a bill related to the Jeffrey Epstein case and a simultaneous push for transparency regarding associated documents. According to recent headlines, she is facing a potential formal censure by the House.
The move to censure her is reportedly connected to newly released documents, including text messages she allegedly exchanged with Jeffrey Epstein. These developments have sparked a significant political controversy, with Republican members of Congress leading the effort to formally reprimand her for her alleged communications.
