Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been exposed further after the US government released more of the Epstein files and it again shows Kevin Rudd has lied about his relationship with Epstein.
It must be remembered that Kevin Rudd sent defamation threats to Google and YouTube last year when I published articles and videos about him lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but he never sent me any legal threats which shows the threats were frivolous and vexatious.
For my articles with all the background information for this article click here and here and here and here.
Kevin Rudd is on video, as per below, in October 2020 saying he never met or spoke to Jeffrey Epstein yet his name shows up on emails and documents that show he is lying.
Latest Epstein files released by the US government – Saturday morning Australian time (31/1/26)
Kevin Rudd is was on Jeffrey Epstein’s daily schedule for a meeting on the 8th of June 2014 at 4.30pm as per below: (Click here for the document)

A text message to Jeffrey Epstein on the 28/9/2015 says, “Hi Jeff, Terje has been trying to reach you. He asked me to let you know that the Mongolian President will come at 8pm. Kevin Rudd has also asked if he can bring his wife and son. Would that be ok? Thanks, Camilla”. Epstein responds, “Ok” as per below:
Epstein’s name does not show up next to his comments in the above message, but Camilla says, “Hi Jeff” and it also says later in the messages on the 20/1/2017, “Happy birthday, Jeff – I hope you have a great day! Best, Camilla”. An internet search shows Epstein’s birthday is the 20th of January 1953 which matches the date of the happy birthday message which is the 20th of January.

How does Kevin Rudd explain the above when Rudd is on video saying he had never met Epstein nor spoken to him to the best of his recollection.
And here’s the smoking gun, Thorbjon Jagland sent Jeffrey Epstein an email on the 5th of February 2013 which says “Yes, it’s a shame. Your island would be something for us in the European winter. When? Kevin Rudd, a friend of both of us just left my house.” as per below:
The Island referred to below would have been Little Saint James, or Epstein Island as it’s known, where they raped children.
How does Kevin Rudd explain that? (Click here to see the full document)
Another email from Jeffrey Epstein to his assistant says, “also non vegetarin food, as now kevin rudd is also coming“. (Click here to see the document)
The problem for Rudd is he lied by blaming Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp for reporting on him and Epstein in 2020, as I originally wrote last year and as per the below video, which ignited the frivolous defamation threat Rudd sent to Google and YouTube in September 2025.
Kevin Rudd blames Rupert Murdoch and News Corp
The Jeffrey Epstein donation scandal was reported by Channel 7 on the 29-10-20, as did most Australian media, as per below. Rudd answered questions, then panicked at the end, and tried to blame Rupert Murdoch and News Corp but the journalist didn’t buy it.
Rudd locked himself into the lie of never having met Epstein in 2020, as per the above video, because he would have been thinking because Epstein had died in August 2019 that there would be nobody to contradict whatever Rudd said. But Rudd didn’t count on the Epstein files being released and exposing his lies.
Kevin Rudd’s defamation threat to Google and YouTube
I sent Kevin Rudd’s lawyers an email on Friday (30/1/26) because I had started working an on article titled “The real reason Kevin Rudd resigned as Australia’s Ambassador to the US” but then the latest Epstein files were released which meant I changed direction and filtered through the 135 new files, many are duplicates, that named Kevin Rudd.
But the email I sent to Rudd’s lawyers, Giles George lawyers, as per below, is still relevant as it is a key part of the story because Kevin Rudd spent big dollars trying to cover-up his lies about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. But Rudd won’t back up the legal threat.

Subject: Kevin Rudd’s Concerns Notice sent to Google and YouTube
Dear Mr Patrick George and Ms Rebekah Giles
Can you please send me a copy of Kevin Rudd’s defamation Concerns Notice that you sent to Google and YouTube on or around the 22nd of September 2025 regarding my video and article.
If you will not send me a copy of the Concerns Notice, please explain why.
Please respond by 6pm Friday the 30th of January 2026.
Regards

You have to ask why Rudd wasted so much money trying to hide the truth given it has now been proven to be futile, and in fact caused the Streisand effect with the videos when I posted them on “X”.
I originally thought Rudd just had his lawyers send a lawyers letter to Google and YouTube but as per below it turns out Rudd had his lawyers sent a defamation “Concerns Notice”, which would cost a lot more. But as per the above email they haven’t given me a copy nor replied to my above email asking for a copy of the Concerns Notice.
Below is a screenshot from the online Lumen database which collects and analyzes legal complaints and requests for removal of online materials, helping Internet users to know their rights and understand the law.

(Click here to see a second letter they sent to Google two days after the one above, after I published an article and video about them blocking the first video on YouTube, with the second letter also referencing the original Concerns Notice)
Under Australia’s new defamation laws, before you institute a defamation case in court you have to serve the other party a “Concerns Notice” and wait 28 days.
Kevin Rudd and his lawyers only sent the Concerns Notice to Google and YouTube to have the videos and articles blocked, but Rudd and his lawyers won’t come anywhere near me and you only have to look at the above and my previous reporting on the matter to know why.
Rudd has too many questions for which he can’t give a legitimate answer and his lies are starting to pile up.
There are still 3 million more Epstein files, photographs and videos that have not been released because they say they are legally privileged, show abuse or have private details on them etc. But it’s guaranteed that at least some files have not been released to protect certain people.
Admin: Ten weeks ago, I launched a campaign with a simple goal: find 200 new monthly supporters so I can keep doing this work as a fully independent journalist, running this website and the YouTube channel without corporate backing or paywalls.
Since then, 107 wonderful people have stepped up and become monthly supporters. That’s huge, thank you!
We’re now at 93 to go.
If you’ve been enjoying the work and aren’t yet supporting monthly, I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d consider joining them. Here’s the situation:
Like most independent journalists, I’m basically a one-person small business. Right now a lot of us are feeling the squeeze, just like many small businesses and households are. To stay afloat and keep bringing you the reporting I do, I need roughly 200 more people chipping in whatever they can comfortably afford each month.
Anything from $3 to $100 (or whatever works for your budget) makes a real difference. There’s no lock-in, you can cancel or adjust anytime.
If that feels doable for you right now, you can see all the options on the donations page by clicking here.
Your support, whether it’s a monthly donation, a one-time donation, or just sharing the work, is what keeps independent voices like this one alive.

This is why EVERYBODY should be doing lawful rebellion. The entire control structure of the entire world is filled with the most corrupt and evil people. The higher up they go the more dirty they are. Pedophilia, slavery, human trafficking, financial crimes, wars for no reason other than theft, plunder and profit… Enough is enough. And boy are they an arrogant and obnoxious bunch with their “untouchable” and “God’s chosen people” attitudes. They all need to be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity.
Couldnt agree more.
Rob: If only that were possible, they have dirt on everyone, and we have an unlawful, fraudulent, totally corrupt government who own the Judicature. Lawful Rebellion is the only way.
Kevin Rudd has given himself a legal “out” by using the phrase “to the best of my recollection”. What this means is that technically Rudd is not denying he ever met Epstein. He is simply acknowledging that his memory could be faulty, and that he might have met Epstein after all.
Grubby politicians and former politicians, no wonder we distrust them and deals such as AUKAS
