Who is Katie Fang and why is she suing the DOJ over the Epstein files?
Joining me today is the fabulous Katie Fang, host of the Katie Fang News on YouTube and wherever get your podcast with the Midas Touch Network. She is also a former trial lawyer, maybe not former, maybe still, and an independent journalist. That is the one that has finally gotten Todd Blanche to turn over documents in the Epstein case. So, on behalf of everyone, thank you. For having the gumption to file this lawsuit against the DOJ. And now we're seeing results, but in a weird way.
Yeah, that's uh that's the best adjective you could use, Pumps. It's weird. Everything is weird these days. This litigation has not followed a traditional path either. But thank you so much for that introduction. Number one, number two, thank you for making this feel like home always when I get to spend time with you and Jen. And and and lastly, I dropped my daughter off at a a little brief summer camp thing. Um, and as I was driving away, it actually hit me. Me a little bit today when I was driving in the car. You know, we've made it pretty far so far. We got a way to go. But uh but there's something to be said about being um resilient and persistent, right? And that's kind of I think the definition of of how things are for us these days.
Katie, that's why I admire what you're doing because it filing a lawsuit. I mean, two lawyers here, filing a lawsuit is a lot of work. It's a lot of emotional turmoil, it's a lot of financial commitment. So you filed this lawsuit to ask that Todd Blanch be in compliance with the S Epstein Transparency Act. Of course he didn't do it. So he had five days and now that's run. Why did he turn 10 documents in
to the judge? So glad you started with that question. Um some people on social media and the internet are like, ooh, whoop-de-doo, it's 10 documents. It's actually more than 10 documents, but it's a subset of the bigger group, obviously, that we know that have been publicly released. And that's why I like to remind people: my lawsuit that I filed seeks the release of all of the Epstein files with only legal redactions and with holes. And not only the ones that have been publicly released so far, but also the ones that Todd Blanch continues to squat on and refuses to release because he claims that they're duplicative or they're not responsive. The limited subset that I sought were only about eight emails and a couple of internal DOJ documents and some FBI notes, et cetera.
Those were a part of a preliminary injunction. That I fought for and won from Judge Sullivan, who's the presiding judge in my case. And over the objections of Todd Blanche and the Trump Department of Justice, Judge Sullivan ordered Todd Blanche to turn these things over to me in an unredacted form, unless Blanche could show cause why he could continue to keep them in a redacted form. Yesterday was the deadline for Blanche. Blanche to show up with unredacted documents, including proof that why Blanche was keeping them redacted was legit. And in my mind, that was a really big deal because as you and I know, as lawyers, all you got is your reputation and your credibility. And when a federal judge says, I don't believe you, prove what you're saying, it's a bad sign for you as a lawyer.
And so in this instance, it's just a subset, a very small subset. And then there's some outstanding things in terms of issues that I did get granted on my preliminary injunction that I haven't had enforcement from Sullivan yet. I'm not saying that he's not going to, but there's some things out there that are very big that I'm still waiting to get from Todd Blanche.
Okay, and it's my underst was he supposed to turn it over to you or did he was he supposed to turn it over in camera first?
It was it was ordered, produced to me, but still giving Todd the chance to kind of Okay, so now the judge
is reviewing it.
Exactly. Then it went to the judge in camera first. He's going to litmus test whether it's legit. And then depending upon what he decides, there will probably be an order coming out saying produce it to Katie Fang forthwith or not, whatever it is, some or all, you know.
