"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries pushed back repeatedly as CNN's chief White House correspondent Kaitlin Collins grilled him Tuesday about Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), who that night had dodged censure over revelations she'd texted Jeffrey Epstein in real-time during Michael Cohen's 2019 Congressional testimony. The exchange, published in a document dump by the House Oversight Committee last week, was highlighted in a report by The Washington Post."
"On CNN, after the Epstein disclosure bill passed the House, Collins seized on the denials as she pressed Jeffries, arguing that Epstein had been convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution 11 years prior having served a jail sentence in 2008. He also faced multiple lawsuits from women alleging abuse in the years following. For two minutes, Jeffries was pushed on the question as Collins repeated it three times."
Del. Stacey Plaskett texted Jeffrey Epstein in real time while Michael Cohen testified in Congress in February 2019. The texts were released in a House Oversight Committee document dump and noted by major reporting. Plaskett defended herself on the House floor, saying Epstein was a constituent and the exchange occurred before a federal investigation became public. A censure effort against Plaskett failed in a 209-214 vote. On CNN, Kaitlin Collins pressed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about the appropriateness of the texts and Epstein's criminal history and subsequent allegations of abuse.
