ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Only one person — one private citizen — had the guts to take Todd Blanche to court over the Epstein files. And she’s winning. That's why Tara McGowan sat down with trial lawyer, former prosecutor and independent journalist Katie Phang, whose lawsuit against Todd Blanche is now the single biggest legal threat to the Epstein cover-up — and his Senate confirmation…
See, Trump ran on releasing the Epstein files. Then Pam Bondi spent her tenure fumbling trying to convince the nation he wasn’t implicated, so Trump installed his own personal defense lawyer to run the DOJ. Blanche immediately declared the case closed. Not for Katie, though…
When Katie started digging into what she believes is the real story of the Epstein operation — the modeling ring, the visas, the system that let powerful men traffic girls in plain sight — she hit wall after wall of illegal redactions. The law allows redactions for ONE reason: protecting victims. Co-conspirators aren't included. So Katie sued and a federal judge agreed: Blanche violated federal law and conceded it in court.
Tara and Katie get into all of it — what's really hiding under the redactions, why the DOJ thought no one would ever check their work, the Melania press conference nobody followed up on and why Katie says she never could have filed this lawsuit at MSNBC.
