Kevin Rudd, former Australian Prime Minister, visited global paedophile Jeffrey Epstein at his New York home for a small cocktail party in the dining room in September 2014, documents released by the US government show.
The cocktail party in 2014 contradicts Rudd’s claim in 2020 that his only contact with Epstein was “he had been on a teleconference call also attended by Epstein in 2014 and attended an event while an MP in 2013 in New York where Epstein was also invited but has “no recollection whatsoever” of ever meeting the deceased financier.” (Click here to read more)
You don’t forget and have “no recollection whatsoever” of meeting someone if you visited their house for a “small cocktail party” in the “dining room”.
I wonder where the “event” was in New York that Rudd said he “attended in 2013′ and that “Epstein was also invited”? Epstein’s house? How did Rudd know Epstein was also invited?
Rudd was clearly lying, and it explains why Rudd has been in full cover-up mode over the last couple of months regarding my reporting on his links to Epstein, and the newly released emails show why. But more on that in a minute.
The 2014 cocktail party shows up in the 20,000 recently released documents by the US government.
True News Weekly publisher Serkan broke the story about the cocktail party document (15/11/25) on “X” (formerly Twitter). (Click here to see on “X”)
One email, which is reportedly Epstein sending an email to himself, says:
“That evening, there is a small cocktail party, which includes the former Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd, and Thorbjørn Jagland the head of the Noble Peace Prize Committee, who offers an affable, but general scathing, critique of U.S. diplomacy (and a brief defense of Obama’s Peace Prize award) and to whom Epstein offers a ride back to Europe on his jet.” (Click here to read the full email)
Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet has the same section starting off differently, and it says (13/11/25), ““That evening, in Epstein’s dining room (he seems to rarely use the rest of the house’s 4,500 square meters), a small cocktail party is held. Among the guests are former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd,” (Click here to read more – If you are using Chrome click on English on the top right when prompted) (It shows up a number of times in the documents and seems to be slightly different drafts)
I’m told the above 2 quotes are from a draft of an article for The New York Magazine that was not published and the draft was fact-checked by Alex Yablon as per below.
An email in 2015 is Jeffrey Epstein forwarding an email to journalist Michael Wolff he received from journalist Alex Yablon who was fact-checking an article for The New York Magazine. The start of the email is below:

Hi Jeffrey,
Sorry for the phone tag. In case it’s easier to respond by email, I have put my questions below. I’m at my desk and should be here until 5, and should be free on my cell phone after 6:30.
Best,
Alex
Office cell
It says at the bottom of page 2 of the email, “Week in late September, did you host a Sunday night discussion with Bill Gates, Mort Zuckerman, and Peter Thiel?”
(Given the above fact-checking email was sent in March 2015, it must mean the “September” referred to was in 2014.)
On page 3 it says, “The morning after the Qataris came over, did you have a 9 AM breakfast with the attorney Reid Weingarten?”
A bit later on page 3 it says, “That evening, did you host Australian PM Kevin Rudd and Thorborn Jagland for a cocktail party? Did Jagland critique US foreign policy? Did you offer to fly him back to Europe on your jet?” (Click here to read the full email)
Alex Yablon has recently retweeted the above fact-checking. (Click here to see)
Kevin Rudd trying to hide the cocktail party helps explain why he has been lying and deceiving about what really happened with his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, his attacks on me via Jordan Shanks, and his frivolous defamation complaint to YouTube to hide one of my videos exposing Rudd’s lies.
Given it is well known that Epstein often had underage girls at his social events, maybe Rudd can confirm if underage girls were at the cocktail party, and if that is why Rudd lied about never meeting Jeffrey Epstein?
It must be remembered that Kevin Rudd doesn’t mind perving on young naked women, as he is well known to have attended a strip joint in 2003 in New York while representing Australia at the United Nations.
But it’s one thing to go to a strip joint, it’s a whole new ball game going to a convicted paedophile’s house for a “cocktail party” that almost certainly had underage girls mixing with so called guests.
Kevin Rudd’s history with Jeffrey Epstein
I published an article on the 21st of September 2025 titled “Jeffrey Epstein’s connection to US Ambassador Kevin Rudd and the cover-up with his sugar baby Jordan Shanks”, which starts off:
Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was chairman of the International Peace Institute (IPI) which received over $650,000 between 2011 and 2019 in donations from Jeffrey Epstein, who ran a global paedophile ring.
When the $650,000 in donations to the IPI from Jeffrey Epstein was exposed in 2019, Kevin Rudd made no public statement for a year, until the IPI CEO Terje Rød-Larsen was exposed for owing Jeffrey Epstein $130,000 for some unknown reason.
Kevin Rudd’s reputation was trashed when he did finally front the media, as he ducked and weaved in media interviews. As you will see below, Rudd’s big mistake was to blame Rupert Murdoch and News Corp when Murdoch had nothing to do with the story.
Kevin Rudd, with nowhere to turn to in Australia’s old media, paid YouTuber Jordan Shanks, aka Friendlyjordies, to run several interviews with Rudd to try to rehabilitate Rudd’s reputation and, at least in part, to also cover up the Epstein connection. (Click here to read more)
I published a video version of the article “Jeffrey Epstein’s connection to US Ambassador Kevin Rudd and the cover-up with his sugar baby Jordan Shanks” on the Kangaroo Court of Australia YouTube channel, and Kevin Rudd made a frivolous defamation complaint to YouTube, and it was blocked for Australian viewers. The video is below:
I then published an article on the 25th of September titled “Kevin Rudd files defamation complaint over YouTube video linking him to Jeffrey Epstein“. I published a video version of the article on the Kangaroo Court of Australia YouTube channel, and once again Kevin Rudd made a frivolous defamation complaint to YouTube, and it was blocked for Australian viewers.
I emailed Kevin Rudd questions on the 24th of September 2025 about the defamation complaint but he failed to respond. So, I haven’t bothered emailing him questions this time.
The reality is, if Kevin Rudd had a legitimate defamation claim, he should have contacted me directly or via a lawyer with a Concerns Notice, and neither has happened.
I sent a message on “X” (14/11/25) to PM Albanese: Dear PM Albanese, did you ask Rudd about his Epstein connection lies before you appointed him Ambassador to the US? (Click here to see on “X)
Kevin Rudd needs to front the media in Australia and answer every question about why he has lied, deceived and defamed people trying to hide his true relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese needs to make him do it if Rudd won’t.
The big problem for Kevin Rudd is when all the Epstein files are released the truth about what he did know will likely be revealed and that could be a huge problem for Rudd and he knows it.

Categories: Kevin Rudd
Rudd has for a long time had something to hide. For years he’s shown that look of terror of exposure in his odd demeanour – the scared rabbit look. This may be why. Or is Jordie more than he seems to Rudd? I almost feel sorry for Kevin.
Kevin Rudd is a career criminal who is worth around $400 million from government contracts, is now cashing in on AUKUS, and pays Jordan Shanks (Friendlyjordies) to defame anyone and everyone he doesn’t like.
Why would you feel sorry for him?
My article here: “The GOATs of Labor Party corruption – Kevin Rudd, his wife Therese Rein and their $400 million fortune” https://kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2025/06/05/the-goats-of-labor-party-corruption-kevin-rudd-his-wife-therese-rein-and-their-400-million-fortune/
A career politician lies? I’m shocked!
A “career” pollie lying? Has long been evident), ALP has been taken-over by those who once were seen to be the “enemy” of the little people, the enemy of the Working Class, by the silver-tailed, smooth talking “career” pollies, with university education. (Not, mind you, I’ve anything against such – managed to put both my kids through Uni & both have done exceptionally well in their respective careers.) Seems, as the Nats did to our Tree of Knowledge”, they’ve succeed in extinguishing Ben Chifley’s “The Light on The Hill” we often pretend is our mantra. Labor has, as my old mates when I was first a Member of the Party, used suggest we ought never lose “the Common Touch” we often spoke of, not that this current mob ever had “the Common Touch”, or know what it means, to lose it!
He probably went with Trump
I have published a video version of the above article on the Kangaroo Court of Australia YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/2hHmp5bLiII
Why is this important information not being picked up by the mainstream media??? This revelation should be headlined.
Typical Lying corrupt Politician, always looking after and serving themselves on our taxes.
There needs to be some important context added here. Firstly. the article is one draft of many that was originally written by Michael Wolff on Epstein’s invitation. Here is another [draft.](https://journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/document-view?collection=092314e384a58618&utm_source=collection_share_link&p=1&docid=231b5e4af7331efe_092314e384a58618_0&page=1&dapvm=2)
Secondly, and what most outlets are missing (assuming they even bother to report it) is Rudd’s failure to come clean is not only a manifestly sackable offense but the situation remains a real and present threat to Australia’s ongoing interest. Take the following excerpt from the above link:
Carter [editor of Vanity Fair[ once advised me [Wolff] not to go to Epstein’s house or accept a ride in his car least I risk being blackmailed. (“For what?” I asked Carter. “You can’t even begin to imagine,” said Carter.). We know that a key element of Epstein’s business model and unexplained wealth was “Kompromat”. We also know that when he was arrested, much of this remaining “Kompromat” was collected by the FBI. We also know that this US administration under Trump is shamelessly transactional (and often illegally e.g. heavying Ukraine for Kompromat on Biden etc) and willing to leverage any available influence (Allies or not). We also know that Trump hates Rudd after previous attacks but uncharacteristically has not objected to his ongoing role as Ambassador.
As Australia most important representative in the US, Kevin Rudd is responsible for helping to negotiate incredibly consequential decisions worth trillions of dollars [Aukus, rare earths etc.] as well as involving life and death [what conflicts Australia enters etc].
How in f#*k name therefore, is this man still representing us?
Shane’s observations that the MSM’s complete silence on this, deserves more widespread attention. The MSM probably claims that this is mere lurid detail, or are loathe to mention anything that might support Ley’s calls for his sacking. That, in fact, this story show how much Australia’s interests are now compromised, makes the MSM’s silence just disgraceful.
The other Aukus member was clearly alert to the dangers as its (former) ambassador Peter Mandelson was instantly sacked when his links to Epstein were revealed in a previous release (which, incidentally, he also lied about). It seems our only hope is that Albo’s, great mate, Starmer might now return the favour with some counsel of his own given the MSM’s utter uselessness?
