Katie Phang Sues Acting AG Todd Blanche Over Epstein Files
A lawsuit has been filed alleging that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is violating a law requiring the Department of Justice to release all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Investigative journalist Katie Phang is seeking to hold Blanche personally accountable for the alleged failure to publish all mandated documents, claiming the department has stalled the process and released only a fraction of the papers. The lawsuit contends that Blanche has missed deadlines, made improper redactions, and withheld key documents, thereby hindering the public’s right to transparency and journalists’ ability to report on Epstein’s network. The Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General is also auditing the department’s compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
