Jezebel | Congrats to Todd Blanche on His First Epstein Lawsuit as Acting AG! by Danielle Han
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
A journalist, Katie Phang, has filed a 15‑page lawsuit against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing the Justice Department of “brazen, shocking, and ongoing” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated full public release of the Epstein records by Dec. 19, 2025. Phang argues that the DOJ’s piecemeal, heavily redacted releases—initially a small batch of documents, then 30,000 files, followed months later by three million error‑filled pages that even exposed survivors’ details—failed to meet the law’s deadline and impeded her reporting. The suit follows earlier congressional efforts, including a failed push by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna for an independent monitor, and comes amid criticism of former AG Pam Bondi’s handling of the files. Phang’s filing seeks to compel the DOJ to comply with the statutory requirement and ensure transparent access to the complete Epstein documentation.

qwant news | Journalist Katie Phang sues acting attorney general Todd Blanche over Epstein files
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Investigative journalist Katie Phang has filed a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C., accusing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche of personally violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act by failing to release all government documents about the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and by applying excessive or unjustified redactions; the suit claims the Justice Department missed statutory deadlines, withheld or re‑tracted key files, and did not provide the legally required explanations for redactions, thereby breaching a law that mandated a complete release of the “Epstein files” by 19 December. Phang, who has covered Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell for MeidasTouch, seeks a court order forcing the DOJ to publish every required document without unlawful redactions, an explanation for any remaining redactions, and the appointment of an independent special master to oversee compliance. The complaint highlights that the department has so far released only a fraction of the papers, often with unnecessary redactions that have even exposed victims’ identities, prompting criticism from lawmakers and prompting the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General to launch its own audit of the agency’s handling of the transparency mandate.

As an independent journalist, Katie Phang cannot do her job reporting on the facts and evidence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and others in the Epstein Elite if she cannot access the full Epstein Files. So she’s suing Acting AG Todd Blanche to force the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Here is her explanation of why she decided to sue and what to expect, including her request for a special master.

#KatiePhang Convicted Felon Donald Trump is building a $400 million “shed” (his words, not mine) over a military bunker underneath the White House. That shed is being financed through private donors and individuals.
And what does that donation get you? Maybe lucrative government contracts? Access?

Why? She thinks white men are an aggrieved group that needs help because they’ve suffered discrimination. So she’s openly seeking out claimants.

The remarks focus on immigration enforcement and constitutional rights amid #Politics. The discussion calls for investigations into actions by ICE and CBP, rejecting the defense of “I was just following orders.” They warn that allowing officials to “abuse people’s rights, shoot people in the street, violate the Constitution… and let them just walk away with complete immunity” would erode trust in government, adding that without accountability, “people are going to continue losing faith that we are a government of laws and not of men.” — I’ve got news for any of Trump’s ICE and CBP agents who break the law: if you think you’re immune from accountability, you’re DEAD WRONG.
