A British tabloid has latched onto a Maine candidate’s achilles heel stemming from his allegedly playing fast and loose with the “Epstein files.”

SeemsGraham Platner has his own Epstein baggageeven while he’s blasting the GOP senator he could well be facing come November for a cover-up.

The Daily Mail is citing a piece from the Maine Small Business Development Centers reporting thatPlatner received $20,000 from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation five years ago to fund his oyster business.

Spyros Niarchos, on the foundation board, “has been described by Greek newspaper Documento as a member ofthe ‘inner circle of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,”the Daily Mail reports.

Niarchos appeared in several of the files relating to Epstein that have been released by the U.S. Department of Justice in recent months.

Word of the possible Platner/Epstein connection comes in the wake of golden boy Platner complaining that U.S. Sen. Susan Collins failed to vote to release the Epstein files.

Platner better be careful of what he wishes for.

If he wins the Democrat nomination over Gov. Janet Mills – as the polls suggest may indeed happen – he could well be facing Collins in the general election this fall.

Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner has raged against the so-called 'Epstein class' butrecords reveal that he has accepted thousands from a family foundation of the pedophile's associate.

Platner is running in the primary election against Maine's governor, Janet Mills, for a chance to square off with incumbent Republican Susan Collins in November.

He has targeted GOP incumbent Collins for not voting to release the Epstein files.

And he's accused her of 'protecting pedophiles and abusers,' while questioning 'whose bidding is she doing?'

Now, Platner's own ties to Epstein's larger empire are coming back to bite him.

Platner, a veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, moved back to Maine in 2018 to work on an oyster farm started by one of his friends and eventually took over the business.

Per an article from the Maine Small Business Development Centers, Platner received a $20,000 grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation in 2021 to fund the oyster farm's growth.

The foundation, based in Athens, Greece, was established after the death of Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos I in 1996, and currently lists his son, Spyros Niarchos, as a board member.

Spyros Niarchos has been described by Greek newspaper Documento as a member of the 'inner circle of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.'

He appeared in several of the files relating to Epstein that have been released by the Department of Justice in recent months.

The appearance of an individual's name in the files is not necessarily evidence of wrongdoing.

In a January 2018 conversation between Epstein and a redacted person, Epstein asks the other person 'Is there a new boy?,' to which the other person responds 'Yes, there is an older man, you will be proud of me.'

Epstein asks who the older man is, and the other person reveals that the older man is Spyros Niarchos, then tells Epstein not to tell anyone.

In subsequent emails in the same thread, Epstein calls Spyros Niarchos 'very interesting' and says they 'shared a mutual friend in the 80s,' who was a 'beautiful Venezuelan girl.'

In April 2018, Epstein emailed a redacted person, saying 'I need a girls with great task to help decorators. Help dinners, and flowers design etc the island. HELP,' to which the redacted person replied, 'What nationality and age do you want? I am in saint moritz with Spyros now!' Epstein replied, 'up to 30yrs.'

Other members of the Niarchos family are also named in the files, including Stavros Niarchos III, the shipping mogul's grandson, who co-hosted a 2013 Halloween party Epstein was invited to attend.

Stavros Niarchos III has dated Paris Hilton in the past, and is now married to Dasha Zhukova, ex-wife of former Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich.

The Daily Mail has reached out to both the Platner campaign and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation for comment.

The Democratic Senate hopeful has also come under fire for his Nazi tattoo after it was revealed he had an SS skull and bones inked on his chest while serving in the Marines.

Last year, he was plunged into scandal when a video showed him drunk and shirtless, sporting a 'Totenkopf' on the left side of his chest, a symbol of the Nazi's paramilitary wing.

Platner released a statement last fall sharing that he had covered the tattoo, adding that he wasn't aware it was an SS symbol when he drunkenly visited a tattoo parlor with his Marine Corps. buddies in Split, Croatia, in 2007.

'I absolutely would not have gone through life having this on my chest if I knew that – and to insinuate that I did is disgusting. I already had the tattoo covered with a new design,' the Democratic candidate said.

In a video posted on X, Platner showed off the new tattoo.

'It's a Celtic knot with some imagery around dogs, because my wife Amy and I, love dogs,' he said.

He went on to claim that the stories about his Nazi tattoo represent an establishment plot to torpedo his candidacy.

'[My donors] know that this is all nonsense. It is no surprise that these stories dropped within days of DC's chosen candidate getting into this race,' Platner told local station WGME in an interview.

Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer favors Maine Governor Janet Mills to take on the Republican Collins, but had avoided a public endorsement until Tuesday after the Nazi tattoo story broke.

Schumer declared Mills 'the best candidate to retire Susan Collins.'

==Platner has also come under fire over his Reddit history, in which he asked why 'black people don't tip' and suggested that women who get raped in the Army should be careful about how much they have to drink.

Bernie Sanders has endorsed Platner to 'fight oligarchy'==

'I made that comment in 2013. I had just come out of the infantry, which was, at the time, all male. I rarely interacted professionally with women in the service,' he told WGME last year.

Prior to the tattoo scandal, Platner was being touted as the Democratic blue-collar answer to MAGA.

Overflow crowds were packing his town halls — 500 in Ellsworth, 200 in Caribou — and a viral social media presence turned him into a national progressive folk hero.

Platner has stormed rural corners of the state long written off by Democrats, railing against 'oligarchy' and corporate greed while urging empathy for working-class voters.

Natasha Grokh ’03: Hometown Diplomat

Being a foreign service officer in the U.S.

Department of State has afforded Natasha Grokh

’03 a unique view of the world. She shared those

perspectives via Zoom with John Bapst students

this spring. From China to Togo, the Philippines to

Egypt, and many points in

between, Grokh has represented

the United States to people

around the world as the face of

America to those she has worked

among. Knowing a variety of

languages (she once translated

rare press documents into English from Ukrainian

and Russian) and understanding the cultures in

which she lives are crucial in America’s outreach

to the world. “Macro-level” intelligence means

knowing what’s going on and therefore how to

help people in the lands she serves.

An early assignment at the U.S. Embassy in Lome,

Togo in West Africa included working through the

African Growth and Development Act and coordi-

nating a successful, first-ever entrepreneurship fair

for women business owners.

Another highlight was when stationed in the

Philippines as an economic analyst and officer.

Grokh promoted peace negotiations in the

conflict-ridden island of Mindanao by facilitating

peace talks among nine groups in five of the most

dangerous cities in the region.

Grokh’s educational goals were high. Following

John Bapst she earned degrees from Syracuse and

George Washington, with graduate school prepa-

ration at Princeton and a study abroad program at

the Sorbonne. Her advice to students? “We have to

care about who we are and what we stand for” in

order to assert our legitimacy on the world stage

Natalya Grokh (MAIR ’08; CAS in Security Studies) is an Operations Officer for the Nuclear Risk Reduction Center, US Department of State

Natalya and Natasha are essentially the same name — or more precisely, two closely related forms of the same root name, with a formal vs. informal relationship.

Origin and Meaning

Both names derive from the Latin Natalia (or Natalis), meaning "birthday" or more specifically "born on Christmas Day" / "birth of the Lord" (from natale domini). This ties them to the Christmas holiday.

Natalya (Russian: Наталья) is the standard Russian/Slavic form of Natalia. It is the full, formal, legal version of the name (what would appear on a birth certificate or passport in Russia).

Natasha (Russian: Наташа) originated as a diminutive (affectionate nickname or short form) of Natalya/Natalia. It is the more casual, everyday version used by family and friends.

In Russian culture, it's very common for the full name (Natalya) to be used officially, while the diminutive (Natasha) is what people actually call the person in daily life — similar to how Katherine becomes Kate, Alexander becomes Alex, or Elizabeth becomes Liz.

Grokh’s educational goals were high. Following

John Bapst she earned degrees from Syracuse and

George Washington, with graduate school prepa-

ration at Princeton and a study abroad program at

the Sorbonne. Her advice to students? “We have to

care about who we are and what we stand for” in
