Reporter Katie Phang recently nabbed a huge win against interim AG Todd Blanche and his crusade to keep the Epstein files under wraps. <\/p>\n

After months of stalling by the administration of President Donald Trump and ignoring the letter of a new law demanding the release of the sex-trafficker\u2019s files, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan opened the floodgates on Trump\u2019s longtime friend. Sullivan sided with former MS NOW show host Katie Phang in her lawsuit demanding the Trump administration adhere to the Epstein Transparency Act.<\/p>\n

Now, fresh off her big win, Phang tells \u201cLeft Hook\u201d podcaster Wajahat Ali that Blanche, Trump and his entire crew appeared to be a bunch of idiots who had no real plan to protect Trump from being implicated in the Epstein files.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t,\u201d howled Phang. \u201cYou either produce it and now we have information that I and others can track down and do more reporting on, or you don’t \u2026 it means they’re trying to hide s\u2014\u2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I were them I’d comply,\u201d Phang told Ali. \u201cI’d say \u2018here are the names of the co-conspirators. Here are the names of the bad people that sent these terrible f\u2014\u2014 emails. Here are the names of possible perpetrators. Have a nice day.\u2019 But they are so dumb the way that they play this game. They had no f\u2014\u2014 strategy and p\u2014\u2014 off a federal judge like Emmett Sullivan \u2026 [who] told [Trump conspiracist] Michael Flynn to his face \u2018you are a traitor to this country.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Sullivan\u2019s ruling means Blanche now must explain to a court why he shouldn’t be forced to release names redacted from emails and documents that reference potentially damning videos and allegations of abuse of minors. Also included in redacted info includes the potential names of Epstein\u2019s co-conspirators, as well as potentially damaging FBI interview notes from a victim who claimed Epstein introduced her to President Donald Trump when she was only 13.<\/p>\n

Phang told Ali that she had no doubt Sullivan put Trump administration in terrible danger.<\/p>\n

\u201cStarting last year right \u2026 in the spring of 2025 they convene in the situation room about the Epstein files and it’s not just the vice president of the United States, JD Vance there,\u201d said Phang. \u201cIt was also then-attorney general Pam Bondi. It was FBI director Kash Patel. It’s the deputy director of the FBI, Dan Bongino. It was then-deputy attorney general Todd Blanche. \u2026 It’s the White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. It’s the White House council \u2026 and a slew of other people. If something [fatal] had happened to that situation room pretty much \u2026 the entirety of the trump administration upper echelon would be f\u2014\u2014 exterminated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that you convene all those people repeatedly in the Situation Room you don’t have to be a Rhodes scholar to figure out that there is something politically toxically horribly bad for the President of the United States [in those files],\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Phang added that she deliberately targeted Blanche in the suit to make him the prime target.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike in other lawsuits when the DOJ is being sued and they parade in some junior federal prosecutor who has to go hat-in-hand to sit there and explain what happened or why they didn’t do it, I only sued one person,\u201d Phang said gleefully. \u201cSo, Todd Blanche \u2026 is gonna have to show up. You can’t just send in some lackey.\u201d<\/p>\n
