What federal court order did Judge Sullivan issue that threatens Trump and the DOJ?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump and his Department of Justice were just hit with a federal court order that they feared the most in connection with Midas Touch host Katie Fang's lawsuit against acting Attorney General Todd Blanche pursuant to the Epstein Transparency Act as Donald Trump and his DOJ tried to cover up Trump's dark past and continue to cover up the Epstein files and the child sex trafficking ring contained within those Epstein files. And the co-conspirators continue to try to have their names concealed. Katie Fang went on the offense. She sued Todd Blanch in federal court in Washington, D.C. Recently, the federal judge ordered that Todd Blanch turn over certain documents that had not been produced to the federal judge, Judge Sullivan.

for something called in-camera review, where the federal judge will review the documents to see if the Department of Justice is complying or lying. Todd Blanch claimed he followed that order and turned over the documents for in camera review and this federal judge said nope you are a liar you did not comply with my order and i am hereby ordering you to appear for a hearing that will be taking place at 1 p.m on august 13th todd blanche doj you now need to show up and explain why you just violated this court order why are you lying to this court I asked you specific things, the federal judge said. I want understandings why you redacted these co-conspirator names. You're claiming they're victims. You were supposed to provide the backup documentation to prove that these were actually victims and not co-conspirators.
Ben Meiselas 1:42
Instead, you just responded, trust me, bro. No, we don't trust you. You did not provide the documents. In addition, we want to see, the federal judge says, I want to see the privilege logs or the redaction logs. So on August 13th, I'm not asking you whether or not you will produce the redaction logs. You will produce the redaction logs. I want to know the timeline when you intend to produce the redaction logs. So show up and be prepared to discuss that. Also, why have you not turned over? the FBI notes to the FD 302s, those 302 reports, those FBI 302s that involve allegations against Donald Trump. You're claiming that I don't get to see it or you're not turning it over because they're, quote, substantially similar to the final FBI 302 reports.
Ben Meiselas 2:31

Ben Meiselas 3:20
Katie, great to see you. Judge Sullivan's order basically saying Todd Blanch is not complying with Judge Sullivan's previous order. about turning over certain categories of documents also addressing the issue of the redaction log which i thought was very significant also and you know it seemed that judge sullivan may have been waiting to see were they going to respond to to his order and comply to see how to handle the redaction log. And when they seem to be deceiving the judge there, he then said, oh, I didn't forget about that redaction log, by the way. Talk to us about this order. What happened? And then I want to talk about some other stuff as well.
Katie Phang 4:00
You never want to underestimate a federal judge. But for a second there, I was like, did he forget that he had ordered Todd to turn over the stuff? So yes, so the breaking news is, and I'm going to start with the, it's the primacy recency, right, Ben? I'm going to start with the most recent thing that just happened, which is an order that just got entered within the last hour by federal judge Emmett Sullivan in my lawsuit against Todd Blanch.
