Watch: Kate Kate L. Doniger in the Epstein files

1:11

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Kate L. Doniger is a lawyer at the New York firm Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP. She appears in the files as a direct participant in email correspondence in 2019–2020 with Roberta Kaplan, federal prosecutors (USANYS), and others about the Epstein Estate's proposed victims' compensation program and related proceedings.

All nine documents are emails, and eight of them have Doniger in the From, To, or Cc header, so this is her own professional correspondence rather than passing mentions. In a December 2019 email she sends colleagues a draft protocol the firm received from "Feinberg and co." and two documents the Estate filed in the U.S. Virgin Islands that day. Her messages from February and April 2020 are replies in a thread with a U.S. Attorney's Office (USANYS) contact and Alexandra Conlon. In them she offers a call, asks whether the other side needs more information, and later says she has "a few questions". Another email forwards a message about the Victims' Compensation Program to a group that includes Gloria Allred, Colleen Mullen, Julie Fink and Alex Conlon. None of the emails place her in contact with Jeffrey Epstein, and none record any personal or social dealings with him.

Key Highlights

•In December 2019 she circulated the draft victims' compensation protocol the firm received from "Feinberg and co." along with two Estate filings from the USVI case. The thread includes Roberta Kaplan.
•A February 27, 2020 thread shows her working with a USANYS contact and Alexandra Conlon. She writes, "If it would be helpful to set up a call to discuss, we are available at your convenience." This email appears in several copies across the files.
•An April 2020 follow-up has her writing that she has "a few questions" and asking whether the recipient is available the next day or the following week.
•In another email she forwards material about the Victims' Compensation Program ("FYI, please see below. Happy to discuss") to a group that includes Gloria Allred, Colleen Mullen, Julie Fink and Alex Conlon.
•Her signature block shows the firm's New York address at 350 Fifth Avenue, Suite 7110. Her role in these documents is that of a practicing attorney, and none of them suggest wrongdoing by her.
•The files list "Kate L. Doniger" as a separate entity from this one, and the two appear to be the same person. Several emails repeat because the same threads were saved in multiple copies.
