Khawam not only tapped her military connections in her custody battle but also invoked broader contacts as she sought greater access to her son.
In emails with her ex-husband, Khawam wrote that Senator Kerry asked about the son and whether he would be coming to Martha's Vineyard in the summer of 2012.
She also wrote that Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island invited the son to a summer clambake in the state, and that the son "would greatly appreciate attending this family clambake."
Included in the court file is what appears to be a handwritten note from Whitehouse, writing, "I am excited to hear that you, Natalie and (the son) may be coming to the family clambake. That would be terrific!"
The Whitehouse note was addressed to Gerald Harrington.
Harrington served as national vice chairman of finance for Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign, according to a biography posted on the website of Harrington's lobbying firm, Capitol City Group.
A spokeswoman for Kerry said Kerry was introduced to Khawam by Harrington, whom the spokeswoman described as Khawam's boyfriend.
A spokesman for Whitehouse also said Whitehouse knew Khawam through her relationship with Harrington, whom Whitehouse has known since college. "Ms. Khawam attended the Senator's clambake fundraiser this summer as Mr. Harrington's guest, and he was glad to see them there," the spokesman said.
