This FBI document from July 2019 reveals an active threat investigation against a Jeffrey Epstein victim living in Australia who was 'speaking out' about his crimes.
This is an internal FBI email chain from July 28, 2019, showing urgent coordination between FBI agents in New York and the Legal Attaché offices in Canberra and Wellington. An FBI agent working the Epstein investigation in New York reached out to Australian-based colleagues because 'one of the identified victims in this case is living in Australia' and the FBI 'received information about a threat being made against her for speaking out.' The emails show the FBI working with Australian Federal Police (AFP) and considering Interpol involvement to investigate the anonymous threat. This document provides evidence of witness intimidation attempts during the 2019 investigation that led to Epstein's arrest.
