An email exchange revealed that an associate of US Virgin Islands Representative Stacey Plaskett sought Jeffrey Epstein’s assistance in arranging a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to advocate for disaster relief following hurricanes in 2017. Epstein communicated with both the associate, Erika Kellerhals, and former White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler in attempts to facilitate the meeting, although it is unclear if it occurred. The emails were part of a larger release of documents related to Epstein’s investigations, highlighting his continued influence in politics. Plaskett, a non-voting member of Congress, has faced controversy over her ties to Epstein but has denied enabling him.
