> The tax attorney continued her services for the notorious financier up until his death. In 2019, Kellerhals pressured the Virgin Islands government to waive travel rules for Epstein, who faced special reporting requirements as a sex offender. Later that year, Epstein was arrested for federal sex trafficking charges. Kellerhals filed an updated will from Epstein, signed just two days before he was found dead in his prison cell. Her law firm continues to represent his estate.

> Despite the overwhelming evidence of Plaskett’s ties to the financier, the congresswoman has attempted to downplay her relationship with Epstein.

> Earlier this month, during an appearance on WTJX-FM radio, on the "Analyze This" program, host Neville James asked Plaskett about her deposition.

> "Epstein was a reprehensible person and I'm truly disgusted by his actions," Plaskett replied. "I regret accepting that campaign contribution, but at the time I was unaware that my campaign had received it."

> “At the time I first received his contribution,” she claimed, “I was actually unaware that my campaign had received it and I was alerted by the media with my campaign’s federal filing.”

> Those claims are flatly false or misleading, given the court records showing Plaskett’s repeated direct appeals for Epstein’s donations to her campaign and to the DCCC.

> During the interview, Plaskett further claimed she is the “only person who received [Epstein] donations who has given money back” to charitable organizations.

> That is also false. Several Virgin Island state legislators, including Sen. Donna Frett-Gregory, donated Epstein funds to local charities. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also donated $7,000 he received from Epstein to charity.
