Newly released documents from the convicted sex offender's estate include text messages from him that appear to influence the lawmaker's questions to Trump's personal attorney at a 2019 congressional hearing. The newly released documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate show that the convicted sex offender texted with a Democratic member of Congress, Del. Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands, during a congressional hearing with Michael Cohen, and that those text messages may have influenced the congresswoman's questions of Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney and fixer.
