>House Democrat Worked for Epstein's Tax and Political Fixer
>Court filings reveal that the Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-V.I., misled the public about her deep ties to the powerful pedophile.

>Lee Fang
>Jun 27, 2023

>Democratic Del. Stacey Plaskett, a representative of the U.S. Virgin Islands in Congress, has distanced herself from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming she was completely “unaware” of his donations. However, recent court filings shed light on a much closer relationship between Plaskett and Epstein than previously known.

>The unsealed documents outline a decade-long association involving direct solicitations for money, personal meetings, and employment at a law firm deeply connected to Epstein's shadowy network.

>Plaskett not only repeatedly sought financial contributions from Epstein and had multiple face-to-face encounters with him, but she also worked directly for a St. Thomas-based law firm that played a role in cultivating influence for Epstein's clandestine activities.

>In a deposition last month, Plaskett disclosed that she was introduced to Epstein by Erika Kellerhals, an attorney who lobbied on his behalf and represented his business and philanthropic ventures. Kellerhals's significance goes beyond a casual connection. Before Plaskett's congressional tenure, she worked at Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin PLLC, the boutique tax firm in the Virgin Islands from 2013 to 2014, a period in which Epstein was a major client.

>Lee Fang article Part 2

>Plaskett's involvement with Epstein may extend further back, as she previously served as counsel on the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority (EDA), which granted Epstein $300 million in allegedly improperly obtained tax exemptions over the course of two decades.

>Asked during her deposition if she worked for Epstein or any Epstein-linked businesses while serving at the Kellerhals law firm, which specializes in EDA assistance, Plasket responded, “I don’t recall.”

>The two years during which she worked for Epstein’s lawyer are notably missing from Plaskett’s LinkedIn account, with a two-year gap between 2012 and when she entered Congress in 2015.

>Emails and testimony, however, closely link Plaskett’s rapid political rise with Epstein’s deep pockets.

>In 2014, Cecil de Jongh, a close aide to Epstein, advised him to support Plaskett in her bid for Congress against local legislator Shawn-Michael Malone. “Shawn is the one who came after you in the senate hearing last week. He is nasty and needs to be defeated and we have a friend in Stacey,” wrote de Jongh.

>During the election, Epstein aides, including Darren Indyke, Lesley Groff, and Kellerhals donated heavily to Plaskett, helping her overcome Malone by a mere 737 votes in what local press called "one of the biggest upsets in Virgin Island politics." That year, de Jongh wrote to Epstein to confirm that a $13,000 corporate donation planned for the Democratic Party would be made “for the benefit of Stacey Plaskett.”

>Plaskett courted more financial support, and met with the convicted sex offender at his office in St. Thomas, according to the testimony. Epstein donated the maximum amount, $5,400, to Plaskett in 2016, and donated again in 2018.

>Lee Fang article Part 3

>“If you would share this invitation with Jeffrey I’d be much appreciative,” wrote Plaskett on July 12, 2018, over email to Kellerhals and Lesley Groff, beckoning the financier to a New York City fundraiser with Michael Bloomberg. Groff was Epstein’s personal assistant, who has been accused of helping Epstein recruit underage girls.

>“I would be grateful for his support and the support of those that he may direct to assist me," Plaskett continued, in an email that was subsequently forwarded to Epstein.

>Less than two weeks after the exchange, Epstein wrote a $2,700 check to Plaskett. Later that year, Yolonda Addison, then a Plaskett consultant who now serves as executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, continued to write to Epstein, requesting his support at several Plaskett campaign fundraising events.

>During her deposition, Plaskett revealed that she had also traveled to Epstein’s Upper East Side residency in the fall of 2018 for another fundraising venture. She answered, “I don’t know,” to most questions about the meeting, but described some details of her memories from the visit. "Someone opening the door, coming into a large foyer area, meeting Lesley Groff, telling me that he would be with me," recalled Plaskett in her testimony.

>The meeting provided an opportunity for Plaskett to request $30,000 from Epstein for the DCCC, the campaign arm of House Democrats. Following the meeting, Plaskett conferred with her staff for a follow-up email for Kellerhals to pass along a fundraising appeal to Epstein.

>The DCCC, however, refused the donation from Epstein, given his well-known record at the time of trafficking young women.

>The court case that revealed much of this information is the lawsuit between J.P. Morgan Chase and the Virgin Islands government. In a filing last month, the bank's lawyers accused the Virgin Islands government of facilitating Epstein's criminal enterprise.

>The records submitted to federal court suggest Kellerhals, Plaskett’s former employer, was at the center of a sprawling influence network designed to keep Epstein’s tax liabilities low and his political influence high.

>The Financial Trust Company, Epstein’s primary business enterprise, listed Kellerhals as its primary contact, while she and other Epstein associates pressed the Virgin Islands government for lucrative tax exemptions, including an exemption on gross receipts, business property, and excise taxes.

>Several charities founded by Epstein were also registered or maintained by Kellerhals, including Gratitude America, Ltd., which he used to funnel money to his elite allies and buy influence. Kellerhals also handled a 2011 deed transfer that gave Epstein full ownership of the opulent home in Manhattan once owned by Les Wexner – the same home where Plaskett met Epstein to solicit a DCCC donation. Epstein is accused of using the building, a sprawling seven-story residency, to molest underage girls. In 2016, Kellerhals assisted Epstein with purchasing Great St. James Island, adding another island to his primary residence in Little St. James Island, at which he is accused of trafficking and raping women and young girls.

>The tax attorney continued her services for the notorious financier up until his death. In 2019, Kellerhals pressured the Virgin Islands government to waive travel rules for Epstein, who faced special reporting requirements as a sex offender. Later that year, Epstein was arrested for federal sex trafficking charges. Kellerhals filed an updated will from Epstein, signed just two days before he was found dead in his prison cell. Her law firm continues to represent his estate.

>Despite the overwhelming evidence of Plaskett’s ties to the financier, the congresswoman has attempted to downplay her relationship with Epstein.

>Earlier this month, during an appearance on WTJX-FM radio, on the "Analyze This" program, host Neville James asked Plaskett about her deposition.

>"Epstein was a reprehensible person and I'm truly disgusted by his actions," Plaskett replied. "I regret accepting that campaign contribution, but at the time I was unaware that my campaign had received it."

>“At the time I first received his contribution,” she claimed, “I was actually unaware that my campaign had received it and I was alerted by the media with my campaign’s federal filing.”

>Those claims are flatly false or misleading, given the court records showing Plaskett’s repeated direct appeals for Epstein’s donations to her campaign and to the DCCC.

>During the interview, Plaskett further claimed she is the “only person who received [Epstein] donations who has given money back” to charitable organizations.

>That is also false. Several Virgin Island state legislators, including Sen. Donna Frett-Gregory, donated Epstein funds to local charities. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also donated $7,000 he received from Epstein to charity.

>It remains unclear if Plaskett has fully divested herself of funds associated with Epstein. Initially reluctant to relinquish the $8,100 in direct donations, she eventually donated the money to charity. However, during her deposition, Plaskett admitted that Epstein and his associates funneled over $30,000 to her campaigns, significantly more than she donated to charity.

>Plaskett, in recent years, has become a familiar voice on MSNBC, known for her bombastic partisan rhetoric and demands for ethics probes into her political opponents. Earlier this year, she sent a letter, first reported on this Substack, threatening to imprison journalist Matt Taibbi over a baseless charge of perjury.

>I sent an inquiry to Plaskett’s office about the discrepancies in her claims about the relationship with Epstein and whether she will donate the money from his associates to charity. I did not receive a response.

> • Court filings show how Jeffrey Epstein exerted power in the US Virgin Islands, two of which he owned.

> • He generously donated to local politicians, including now-congresswoman Stacey Plaskett.

> • His consigliere was the islands' first lady, who helped him weigh in on a sex-offender law, records show.

>It was 2018, and Rep. Stacey Plaskett was running for reelection in Congress. She expected to win a third term easily, running unopposed in both the Democratic primary and the general election.

>The US Virgin Islands, where Plaskett is from, doesn't have normal congressional representation. Like Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, it has a nonvoting delegate. She can serve on committees but doesn't have any say when the full House of Representatives votes on a bill.

>One part of her job, however, is the same as that of every other Democrat in Congress: She's expected to fundraise for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That year's campaign cycle, the committee gave her a target of around $250,000 to raise for the organization, which recruits and supports candidates for the party, she said in a deposition taken earlier this year.

>Plaskett had a list of people to ask for money. It included previous donors, alumni, and "individuals who were interested in the same topics for which committees I sat on," she said in the deposition.

>On that list, she said, was Jeffrey Epstein.

>'Maximum amounts allowed' Part 2

>A financier worth hundreds of millions of dollars, Epstein owned two islands in the US Virgin Islands (there are roughly 50 islands overall). His main residence, on the island of Little St. James, was lavishly furnished in the style of a resort. He had even shipped in more sand and palm trees to make it look exactly as he desired. Plaskett wanted to persuade Epstein to donate $30,000, the maximum amount an individual could donate to a national campaign committee at the time.

>There was just one issue for Plaskett. Epstein was a convicted sex offender, having pleaded guilty 11 years earlier to soliciting sex from a minor. Law enforcement had separately concluded he sexually abused scores of underage girls at his home in Palm Beach, Florida. But, with the help of high-powered lawyers, Epstein got a light sentence.

>For two decades, Epstein had also flexed his political muscles and exerted control in the US Virgin Islands' halls of power. New court documents show how the territory's first lady steered him through political waters, guiding donations to key politicians. Epstein weighed in on an overhaul of sex-offender laws, considered putting a lawmaker "on retainer," and made a customs office look the other way by simply buying all 78 staff members turkeys for Thanksgiving, court filings say.

>Plaskett, though, was focused on hitting her $250,000 goal. A $30,000 donation was a feasible ask for Epstein. He had donated generously to Democratic politicians from the US Virgin Islands for years. In exchange, recent court filings say, he got $300 million in tax incentives and was able to fly girls to his islands without customs batting an eye.

>And Plaskett had taken Epstein's money before, for her own campaign.

>Earlier that year, on July 12, Plaskett sent an email to Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff, inviting the pedophile to a fundraiser for her campaign. She said she would be "grateful" for whatever support Epstein could provide.

>Epstein responded just two minutes later in his typically typo-marred prose.

>He wrote: "get maximum ampounts allowed."

>'We would have a friend in Stacey'

>Epstein kept up the generosity. In September that year, a consultant on Plaskett's campaign invited Epstein to two dinners on St. Thomas and St. Croix, the two main islands in the US Virgin Islands, emails show. Epstein swiftly promised he would donate the "max" but said he didn't want his name attached.

>At some point in fall 2018, Plaskett visited Epstein at his Manhattan mansion. Plaskett said Groff greeted her at the foyer and brought her to Epstein, who was sitting at a long dining-room table. He agreed to give the full $30,000 that Plaskett had asked him to contribute to the DCCC.

>The committee ended up rejecting the donation.

>"He had not passed their vetting," Plaskett said in the deposition. "I was informed by my chief of staff that the DCCC informed him that Mr. Epstein's contribution would not be accepted by the DCCC."

>A representative for Plaskett didn't respond to multiple requests for comment.

>Just a few months after Plaskett's 2018 reelection, federal prosecutors in Manhattan brought a sex-trafficking indictment against him. He died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, so he had no other chance to donate to one of Plaskett's campaigns.

>She did, however, accept money from him on previous occasions.

>Epstein donated $5,400 to Plaskett's campaigns in the 2016 campaign cycle, hitting the contribution limits for the primary and general elections, Federal Election Commission records show. He maxed out his donation to her unopposed campaign in the 2018 cycle as well.

>His financial support of Plaskett's political career stretched back to 2014, the first year she won her seat in the House.

>It was a close campaign. In the Democratic Party primary, Plaskett, then a lawyer for the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority, was running against Shawn-Michael Malone, who held a powerful perch as the president of the US Virgin Islands Senate.

>At that time, Epstein was getting political advice from Cecile de Jongh, the first lady of the US Virgin Islands. Her husband, John de Jongh Jr., served as governor from 2007 to 2015.

>In addition to her duties as first lady, Cecile de Jongh had a day job at the Southern Trust Co. Epstein claimed to use the corporation for his philanthropic foundations, though several lawsuits have alleged it served as a vehicle for his sex-trafficking operation. Epstein appeared to be a generous employer, paying tuition for de Jongh's children in addition to her salary, court records show. A representative for de Jongh declined to make her available to comment.

>Malone, de Jongh wrote in a June 2014 email to Epstein, was no fan of the financier. De Jongh pleaded for Epstein to donate to Plaskett's campaign — and to ask his rich friends to contribute more money. Malone, she said, had criticized Epstein at a recent hearing.

>"Shawn is the one who came after you in the senate hearing last week," she wrote. "He is nasty and needs to be defeated and we would have a friend in Stacey."

>Epstein assented and offered the names of several associates who might donate as well. Among those suggestions was Groff, along with Epstein's lawyers Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, who became his estate executors when he died five years later. All of them donated to Plaskett's campaign, FEC records reviewed by Insider show.

>There's no evidence that Epstein reimbursed his associates for their donations, but the remarks raised red flags for Stuart McPhail, a lawyer for the government-ethics watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. McPhail told Insider that if Epstein was using other people to bring more of his own money into Plaskett's campaign, it could amount to a straw-donor scheme — an illegal practice of using a conduit to make political donations on someone's behalf when they've exceeded campaign-finance limits.

>"There's enough here to raise concern. And I think the questions should be asked if these individuals were actually the source," McPhail said. "And if they weren't — if this was actually Jeffrey Epstein's money that was passed through them — then yes, that would be an unlawful straw-donor violation."

>A lawyer representing Indyke and Kahn said they weren't reimbursed for the donations. An attorney representing Groff declined to comment.

>The August 2014 primary was a close race.

>Plaskett won, defeating the well-known Malone by just 737 votes.

>It wasn't until a month later that Plaskett and Epstein met for the first time in person, introduced by Erika Kellerhals, a local lawyer. They had a meeting on September 5, according to copies of Epstein's schedules obtained by Insider through a Freedom of Information Act request.

>Plaskett was expected to coast to victory in the general election. The local Democratic Party has a firm grip on the territory's politics. Since 1981, the Virgin Islands has only once sent a non-Democrat to Congress.

>Nonetheless, de Jongh pushed for more money to support Plaskett.

>In October 2014, she wrote an email to Epstein memorializing a $13,000 donation to a Democratic Party operation in Plaskett's support from the Southern Trust Co.

>"Hi Jeffrey, I am confirming with you that STC will send $13K to the Democratic Party for the benefit of Stacey Plaskett," de Jongh wrote.

>JPMorgan and the US Virgin Islands blame each other for Epstein escaping justice

>Plaskett's deposition and the emails between Epstein and de Jongh have been produced in litigation between the US Virgin Islands and JPMorgan Chase over who bears responsibility for letting Epstein run amok. A compensation program funded by his estate found he sexually abused more than 100 girls before his death.

>The US Virgin Islands government sued JPMorgan in December in a New York federal court, alleging the bank "pulled the levers" of Epstein's sex-trafficking operation and ignored numerous red flags. Epstein had banked with JPMorgan and its subsidiaries for decades, using entities like the Southern Trust Co. to transport girls and pay them for their silence, the US Virgin Islands alleged.

>'Maximum amounts allowed' Part 7

>The criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's longtime associate and onetime girlfriend, in 2021 had already shed some light on how Epstein used his JPMorgan accounts. One bank official testified about documents showing that Epstein gave Maxwell at least $30.7 million between 1999 and 2007. Part of that compensation was for helicopter-pilot lessons. Witnesses testified that after passengers from Epstein's plane arrived on St. Thomas, Maxwell flew passengers from the airport there to his private island of Little St. James, which locals nicknamed "pedophile island." Another trial witness testified that one of Epstein's jets — which prosecutors said he used to traffic girls for sex — was owned by a company called Hyperion Air, which was incorporated through JPMorgan. The trial jury convicted Maxwell on charges that she trafficked girls to Epstein for sex and sexually abused them herself. She's serving a 20-year prison sentence.

>Documents obtained by the US Virgin Islands in the case show deep ties between Epstein and top JPMorgan officials, including Mary Erdoes, who's widely considered to be second in line to Jamie Dimon's CEO post. Epstein's main contact at JPMorgan was Jes Staley, the head of private banking who later became the CEO of Barclays bank, only to step down in 2021 following a UK government investigation into his ties to Epstein.

>JPMorgan's defense in the lawsuit has basically been: "I'm rubber; you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you."

>The Virgin Islands had access to the same information about Epstein but did nothing to stop him, JPMorgan has said in filings.
