Who is Stacey Plasketts husband Jonathan Buckney-Small?
JONATHAN Buckney-Small is the husband of lawmaker Stacey Plaskett, who represents the Virgin Islands’ at-large congressional district.
Plaskett is one of nine impeachment managers arguing for the conviction of Donald Trump and spoke during the trial on February 10, 2021.
Who is Plaskett’s husband Jonathan Buckney-Small?
Jonathan Buckney-Small, the husband of the congresswoman, previously served as chief researcher for the Legislature of the Virgin Islands, according to his Linkedin profile.
He has had multiple other jobs, including recruitment and engagement manager in the Washington, DC, area.
Plaskett and Buckney-Small have five children together.
The parents “are avid readers, cooks, and news junkies,” according to the congresswoman’s online bio.
What did Stacey Plaskett say during Donald Trump’s impeachment trial?
Prosecutors unveiled chilling security video in Trump’s impeachment trial on February 10, showing rioters breaking into the Capitol and searching for Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“They did it because Donald Trump sent them on this mission,” said Plaskett.
“President Trump put a target on their backs and his mob broke into the Capitol to hunt them down.”
Her statement was part of the first full day of arguments in the trial as the prosecutors argued Trump was no “innocent bystander” but the “inciter in chief” of the deadly Capitol riot.
A single article of impeachment – for “incitement of insurrection” – was approved by the House in January, one week after a violent mob of Trump supporters invaded the Capitol.
At the time lawmakers were counting the votes that certified Joe Biden’s victory over Trump.
The nine impeachment managers include Plaskett, Jamie Raskin, David Cicilline, Joaquin Castro, Eric Swalwell, Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse, Ted Lieu, and Madeleine Dean.
The US Senate on February 10 saw for the first time the detailed security video of the break-in.
“To us it may have felt like chaos and madness, but there was method to the madness that day,” said Raskin, the lead prosecutor.

Because she represents a US territory, not a state, Plaskett does not have voting rights and was not able to cast a vote for impeachment.
However, she brings her legal experience as a former district attorney in New York and senior counsel at the Justice Department.
She said in January: “As an African American, as a woman, seeing individuals storming our most sacred place of democracy, wearing anti-Semitic, racist, neo-Nazi, white supremacy logos on their bodies and wreaking the most vile and hateful things left not just those people of color who were in the room traumatized, but so many people of color around this country.”
