A resolution to censure Rep. Stacey Plaskett, the Democrat congresswoman caught texting with Jeffrey Epstein during Michael Cohen’s 2019 hearing, has failed in the House of Representatives. The final vote was 209-214-3 (three Republicans voted ‘present.’). Every single Democrat, and three Republicans, voted against the resolution.

The House on Tuesday evening rejected a House Freedom Caucus-pushed resolution to formally censure Democratic Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett and to remove her from the House Intelligence Committee over recently-released documents that show she consulted with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 hearing. The vote was 209-214-3. Three Republicans voted “no” with all Democrats, and three Republicans voted present.

Documents from the Epstein estate released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week show Plaskett texting with Epstein during a hearing with Michael Cohen, a former fixer for President Trump, in February 2019 — after a major Miami Herald investigation into Epstein’s sex crimes ran in 2018. The censure resolution says Plaskett “was actively coached by Epstein during the hearing, received instructions on specific lines of questioning, and was congratulated afterwards with the message ‘Good work.’”

Prior to the vote, Rep. Plaskett defended herself by claiming that neither she nor the public knew Epstein was a perverted criminal at the time of the hearing in 2019. “I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time was my constituent. It was not public knowledge at that time that he was under federal investigation,” she said. However, it was a full 11 years after he was first arrested for child sex crimes. Epstein had been previously charged for exploiting young girls in 2006. “I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who, at the time was my constituent — who was not public knowledge at that time, that he was under federal investigation — and who was sharing information with me,” she said in her own defense on Tuesday. Plaskett also pointed out her years of experience as a prosecutor when arguing she was not seeking advice on her line of questioning.

The resolution’s rejection comes just hours after the House passed, and the Senate approved, a bill directing the Department of Justice to release files related to the late sex offender and wealthy financier. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) introduced the resolution. If the resolution passed, Democrats were expected to immediately bring up a retaliatory resolution to censure Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.). A judge had granted Mills’s ex-girlfriend a restraining order against Mills last month.
