Katherine Keating, who is the daughter of former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, sent a legal threat (as per below) to an independent journalist in the US trying to cover up her links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Keating used the same Sydney law firm and lawyer, Patrick George at Giles George Lawyers, that former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd recently used trying to cover up his links to Epstein. That by itself raises many questions.

Let’s look at Katherine Keating‘s legal threat first, then look at how it ties in with Kevin Rudd and law firm Giles George.

Katherine Keating’s legal threat to Kait Justice

Kait Justice’s website says in an article published on the 6th of February 2026, titled “Katherine Keating’s Lawyers Threatened Me With Legal Action Over My Epstein Reporting. Then I Found the Un-Redacted Email”.

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.

On the 21st of October 2025, I published an article about an email I found in the House Oversight Committee’s Epstein document release. The email showed someone coordinating meetings with Kuwaiti royalty and relaying that schedule to Jeffrey Epstein. The subject line contained a name that appeared to have been missed during redaction: Katherine Keating, the daughter of Paul Keating, Australia’s 24th Prime Minister.

(The email is below, and you can see in the subject line, “Schedule for you (Katherine Keating)”)

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 the 12th of December, 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 The letter was marked “URGENT” and “STRICTLY PRIVATE, CONFIDENTIAL AND NOT FOR PUBLICATION.”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.

Today I am publishing the letter anyway after speaking with my lawyer, because what it contains is more important than what it threatened.

The Demand Letter

After my original article went up, Katherine Keating’s lawyers sent me the letter below. They disputed what I reported and demanded I take the article down. Here it is in full.

What Her Lawyers Claimed

Before I go any further, I want to be clear about something.

I have never claimed that Katherine Keating committed any crime. I have never claimed she was involved in trafficking. I have never claimed she knew about Epstein’s crimes against minors. Nothing in my original article made those accusations, and nothing in this article makes them either.

What I reported then, and what I am reporting now, is that those and new documents released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee show Katherine Keating coordinating her schedule with Jeffrey Epstein, forwarding him diplomatic invitations, and communicating with him regularly. The documents raise questions about that relationship, and those questions deserve answers, especially with so many new communications to unpack.

But here is the other thing I am reporting about and why I decided to share this — the letter demanded I remove my article within five days despite knowing that Ms. Keating did write it. It called my reporting “defamatory” and said it contained “false assertions and unfounded speculation.” Then it made four specific claims about Katherine Keating:

Claim one: “Ms Keating does not know any member of the Kuwaiti Royal Family.”

Claim two: She “did not participate in a meeting with the Crown Prince of Kuwait or ‘Sheike Fahad.’”

Claim three: “She had no professional dealings with Epstein.”

Claim four: She “never organized meetings on his or anyone’s behalf.”

The letter ended with a warning: if I did not do what they demanded, “Ms Keating will not hesitate to take further legal action.”

I did not comply, and I retained a lawyer. My lawyer wrote back and pointed to the documents that support what I reported. She also pointed out that Keating’s attorneys had not actually identified a single false statement in my article.

Then, this past week, I found something else in the document releases that changes everything about this story.

Why This Matters

I have been nervous about publishing this piece. When you get a legal threat from lawyers representing a former Prime Minister’s daughter, you take it seriously. You know what happens to journalists who cover this case. You know the people on the other side have resources you do not.

They were betting that threatening an independent journalist without institutional backing would make this go away. But what’s almost ironic is that I may not have really thought too much about seeing her name in that moment if they never made a big deal to begin with.

I am not accusing Katherine Keating of a crime but I asking some questions:

If the meetings were innocent, why lie about them?

If she had no professional dealings with Epstein, why are there multiple emails showing her sending him her schedule and forwarding him diplomatic invitations?

If she never organized meetings on anyone’s behalf, why do sworn court filings say she transmitted her brother’s contact information to facilitate an Epstein meeting?

These are questions, and they are only necessary because her lawyers chose to deny things the documents prove happened.

End of excerpt from Kait Justice’s website (Click here to read the full article)

Katherine Keating was clearly lying last year, via her lawyers, about her true relationship with Epstein, and when the latest Epstein files were released in January this year, there were over 1000 emails featuring Katherine Keating, with hundreds between her and Epstein, which exposed the lies in her lawyers’ letter as per above.

Among those 1000 emails is Katherine Keating sharing her brother’s email address with Epstein and “offering to bring her younger sister to a lunch with Epstein and Woody Allen, after the convicted sex offender told her the film director likes pretty women.”

Kevin Rudd’s link to Katherine Keating via law firm Giles George

Kevin Rudd started sending legal threats to Google and YouTube in September 2025 to have 4 of my articles and videos blocked, but he never sent me anything. I know YouTube blocked 4 videos for viewers in Australia, and I assume Google did the same in their search results.

On the 25th of September 2025, I sent questions directly to Kevin Rudd about his defamation threat to Google and YouTube, but he never responded. (Click here to read more)

And on the 23rd of November 2025, I sent questions to Kevin Rudd’s lawyer, Patrick George at Giles George Lawyers, and he also never responded. (Click here to read more)

So how does Kevin Rudd, who was in the US in September and November 2025 as Australia’s Ambassador to the US, use the same law firm as Katherine Keating, who sent the legal threat in December 2025, to cover up their links to Jeffrey Epstein?

Did Katherine Keating read my article published on the 23rd of November 2025 and see that Patrick George at Giles George was representing Rudd and decide to give him a call?

Or did Kevin Rudd talk directly to Katherine Keating, or maybe Paul Keating, and recommend his own lawyer and law firm? Or are Giles George ambulance chasers that called both Rudd and Keating?

The fact that Giles George failed to send me a defamation threat shows they knew their defamation complaint to Google and YouTube about my articles and videos was frivolous and vexatious, and they knew I would publish their dodgy letter immediately.

It is worth noting Rudd hasn’t sent any defamation threats, that I know of, for my latest article (3/5/26) titled “Rupert Murdoch’s and Kevin Rudd’s Epstein friendship should be investigated, say The Greens” or related video nor my 17th of May article titled “Hypocrisy exposed: Kevin Rudd joins Rupert Murdoch’s payroll as Royal Commission backers stay silent” and related video.

The Greens have called for a government inquiry into any and all Australian links to Epstein, and the above is more reason why the government should hold a public inquiry.

Admin: Twenty-six 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, 173 wonderful people have stepped up and become monthly supporters. That’s huge, thank you!

We’re now at 27 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.
