The daughter of former Australian Prime Minister appears in emails coordinating diplomatic access through Epstein. When I reported it, her lawyers sent me a letter containing false statements.
I am only excerpting the opening bits of this long and detailed report on how someone is very upset about Kait's prior reporting. If this is accurate, she's touched a very live wire.

I wrote about the timing of those meetings during Kuwait's largest political corruption scandal in modern history. I wrote about what it might mean if a former Prime Minister's daughter was coordinating her diplomatic schedule through Epstein's office. I asked questions about the pattern of access the documents appeared to show.
Nearly two months later, on December 12, 2025, I received an email from an Australian law firm called Giles George. The letter was marked "URGENT" and "STRICTLY PRIVATE, CONFIDENTIAL AND NOT FOR PUBLICATION."
Journalists who cover the Epstein case know what happens when you publish something that makes powerful people uncomfortable. You receive legal threats demanding you remove articles, and most of the time those threats work because independent journalists cannot afford to fight lawsuits from people with unlimited resources. The article comes down, the questions stop getting asked, and the silence continues.

(13,326 posts)independents that are working on aspects of the Epstein cabal, as long as they are writing with credibility, legal costs will be covered and some big name lawyers should donate their time, like Trump blackmailed so many into.

(105,836 posts)Sydney Morning Herald, August 23, 2019:
While there is no suggestion she was involved in Epstein's criminal activities, why a woman, then aged in her mid-20s, was visiting the Duke of York at the home of a renowned child sex offender - who at that point had recently finished serving a 13-month prison sentence for procuring an underage girl for sex - remains unanswered.
...
Following that relationship, Keating started dating Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini, the son of the late Vogue Italia editor-and-chief Franca Sozzani. The Carrozzinis are fabulously wealthy and well-connected in their own right. Francesco is listed as Keating's co-executive producer on a glowing 2014 Huffington Post interview she did with Epstein's former lover Ghislaine Maxwell.
...
She and Keating had clearly grown close, with Keating among intimate groups invited to cocktail parties at Maxwell's New York home, by which point Keating was firmly in Epstein's personal orbit.

The "glowing" interview - "brownnosing" is more accurate:

It's all like that. Talk about greenwashing. Never heard of "TerraMar"? It seems to have been a sham:
Questions were also raised about what TerraMar entailed beyond the high profile appearance by Maxwell at the United Nations and on the TED stage.[9] In 2017, an executive at a maritime firm made multiple requests for project funding to TerraMar's development director Brian Yuratsis that were ultimately denied despite Yuratsis professing interest in having TerraMar sponsor the project.[9][12][13] The maritime executive who made the requests stated that "My impression was that TerraMar as a whole was pretty hollow", and that "It seemed like Brian was the entire organization."[9]

Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offenders extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trumps policy decisions.
By KYLE CHENEY and NAHAL TOOSI
Politico, 11/12/2025
Nearly a month before President Donald Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to pass a message to Russias top diplomat: If you want to understand Trump, talk to me.
I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me, Epstein wrote in a June 24, 2018, email to Thorbjorn Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway who was leading the Council of Europe at the time of the exchange. Lavrov was an apparent reference to Sergei Lavrov, Russias longtime foreign minister.
In the email exchange, one of hundreds released Wednesday by congressional investigators, Epstein indicated he had previously talked about Trump with Vitaly Churkin, Russias forceful ambassador to the United Nations, before Churkin died in 2017.
Churkin was great, Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, wrote. He understood trump after our conversations. it is not complex. he must be seen to get something its that simple.
