"The DOJ's failure to upload the documents in full was hurting her ability to do her job as a journalist. The 15-page lawsuit calls Blanche out for his 'brazen, shocking, and ongoing violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.'"
"On the same day, the DOJ drip-fed a speckle of heavily redacted documents before announcing it would be missing its own deadline. Three days later, it dumped 30,000 (very heavily redacted) files onto its website."
"Brendan Ballou, Phang's lawyer, wrote in the lawsuit, 'The Act...required the government to produce these documents within 30 days of its enactment-not later than December 19, 2025.' That required production never occurred."
Katie Phang filed a lawsuit against Acting AG Todd Blanche for the Justice Department's failure to fully upload the Epstein files as mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The lawsuit criticizes the DOJ for its inadequate release of heavily redacted documents and for missing the deadline set by the Act. Despite previous attempts by lawmakers to address the issue, the DOJ continued to withhold files and released documents containing numerous errors, impacting the ability of journalists and victims to access accurate information.
