Rep. Ralph Norman‘s (R-SC) censure resolution against Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) after her association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was revealed failed on Tuesday.

Norman’s resolution, backed by the House Freedom Caucus, failed 209-214, with three Republicans joining all Democrats in voting no and three Republicans voting present. The resolution said Epstein “actively coached” Plaskett during a House Oversight Committee meeting in 2019 and aimed to censure and remove her from the House Intelligence Committee.
