An associate of Stacey Plaskett, the US Virgin Islands delegate, reached out to Jeffrey Epstein to request assistance arranging a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to lobby for Virgin Islands disaster relief after 2017 hurricanes. Erika Kellerhals, a tax lawyer in the US Virgin Islands, emailed Epstein on January 24, 2018, and exchanged messages about the difficulty of securing a meeting and concerns about Schumer focusing on Puerto Rico. Epstein then contacted Kathy Ruemmler seeking help to reach Schumer or his chief of staff. Emails are among files related to US investigations into Epstein. It is unclear if a meeting occurred.
