Newly released messages showed Stacey Plaskett exchanging texts with Jeffrey Epstein during her questioning of Michael Cohen at a 2019 hearing. The House later rejected a censure resolution over the exchanges. Center outlets recount the messages and the censure dispute, often including Plaskett’s response. Right-leaning outlets more often frame the texts as real-time coaching and stress criticism of Plaskett or political consequences for Democrats.
