The Next Shoe Dropped To Release The Epstein Files! w/ Katie Phang - Fast Politics w/ Molly Jong-Fast

[Rhiannon12866]

Molly Jong-Fast welcomes back independent journalist and attorney Katie Phang to unpack Phang’s newly filed federal lawsuit against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, which she describes as the first brought under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, arguing the Department of Justice has made illegal and improper redactions that shield key names and details from public scrutiny.

Phang explains her motion for a preliminary injunction seeking expedited relief on five alleged violations, including redacting email senders and recipients, concealing names of potential co-defendants in internal Epstein prosecution documents, withholding FBI interview notes tied to serious allegations, refusing to translate foreign-language materials, and failing to produce the required redaction log.

The conversation then shifts to broader concerns about politicization of the Trump-era DOJ, including reporting around potential efforts targeting E. Jean Carroll and Reid Hoffman, and a discussion of recent findings of prosecutorial misconduct in the Broadview Six case, highlighting what Phang argues is a troubling pattern of abuse of process and retaliation. - 05/29/2026.
