"The documents, published by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, include messages highlighted in a new report by The Washington Post that were sent as Cohen detailed allegations that President Donald Trump manipulated financial records and directed hush-money payments, claims Trump denied. As the hearing unfolded, Epstein appeared to be monitoring the proceedings closely, alerting his contact that Cohen had mentioned former Trump aide Rhona Graff."
"Minutes later, Plaskett pressed Cohen on who else the committee should interview, asking: Are there other people that we should be meeting with? Cohen began to reply, mentioning Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg, before Plaskett cut in and narrowed in on the name raised in Epstein's messages to his recipient: You've got to quickly give us as many names as you can so we can get to them. Is Ms. Rhona, what is Ms. Rhonas?"
House Oversight Committee records show Jeffrey Epstein exchanged messages during Michael Cohen's 2019 testimony that align with Del. Stacey Plaskett's on-camera questioning. Epstein's texts noted Cohen had mentioned former Trump aide Rhona Graff and queried whether 'RONA' was an acronym. Epstein messaged commentary urging attention to other "henchmen" at the Trump Organization and asked for names to pursue. Plaskett pressed Cohen about additional witnesses minutes after related messages and focused on Ms. Rhona. Timestamps in the released records align Epstein's messages with Plaskett's appearance, and the feed includes messages such as "Quick I'm up next" and "Good work."
