journalismJul 25, 20262212,108

Judge Emmet G. Sullivan signed an order in PHANG v. BLANCHE (1:26-cv-01417) on July 25, 2026 requiring defendant Todd Blanche to submit specified documents to the court for in‑camera review. The order appears as ECF No. 23 and directs the parties to read the attached order upon receipt. The filing is part of Katie Phang’s lawsuit concerning the Epstein Files and compels the defendant to provide documents for the judge’s private examination rather than rely on counsel’s public representations.

While MSM dined with a president who demeans and demonizes journalists, Katie Phang was out winning lawsuits to uncover the truth and seek justice. @katiephang.bsky.social

The Judge is basically ordering Blanche to follow the law(Epstein Transparency Act) that Congress passed and Trump signed into law, but in private…

It’s crazy that women in america could be arrested for having an abortion but everyone in the #Epsteinfiles is still just walking free

He’s not going to comply. So what is the court prepared to do? So far there have been zero consequences for telling the court to fuck off

Love to see Blanche lose, proving that he isn't much of a lawyer anyway, more a mouthpiece in the way the mob hires lawyers.

Concert. So we’ll see how much trump is redacted.

The court is exposing how Trump and his DOJ corruptly manipulated redactions to shield rich predators and protect his own reputation.

She’s doing more work on the Epstein files than all of Congress - they should all be ashamed of themselves!!!!

We women would have things straightened out in a few hours. Not hyperbolic.

She did a great interview in the last day or two with a French advocate for justice I've not heard anywhere else, and she made really good points.

His constant attempts to block full transparency prove that he has something massive to hide regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein Files Update - Judge Sullivan has ordered DOJ to allow him to do an in-camera review of the UNREDACTED documents requested by journalist Katie Phang. Blanche is likely going to be in big trouble if he withheld documents without cause!😱 Here's the order: www.courtlistener.com/docket/73246...

My bet is that this judge is going to walk out of that room with a new appreciation for government coverups. And a nasty feeling of betrayal of the victims.

Bravo @katiephang.bsky.social ! Keep on kicking a**!

Finally! Blanche is a stupid toady!

Robert Shirk1

He won’t produce. He can’t. It’s all too volatile, too explosive to risk complying. I’m wondering what the Judge does then. Arrest Blanche on site?

#KatiePhang has done what no one else did. Time to rip off the bad bandage & expose dump, blech, the Epstein class & hold these mofos accountable. No confirmation, revoke the law license. BASTA. It's not going away.

It’s too early to tell definitively, of course, but might Katie’s departure from MSNBC, unleashing her on the legal world with a particular emphasis on the #EpsteinFiles, turn out to be a pivotal moment in determining whether American democracy survives or falls? #KatiePhang

Katie Phang is a journalistic ROCKSTAR. She's doing fantastic work to hold this corrupt regime accountable! I fully 100% support everything she does. If only all journalists were just half as committed as she is. Please support Katie in any way you can.

Wowser! Way to go, Katie Phang. DOJ must now provide evidence supporting every redaction, including victim and official identities. The judge isn’t taking “trust us” for an answer. What’s Blanche’s next play—contempt?

Some excellent news for the equally excellent Katie Phang, who is personally holding accountable those the USA Justics Department are hellbent on protecting. Lawyers are THE last line of defence in the USA against a tyrannical fascist Government. We need to be very grateful.

🇨🇦👏🏻Hats off to Katie Phang… Persistence IS RESISTENCE! Todd Blanche should be stripped of his law license for ignoring and violating court orders in the first place. These Trump & Epstein lovers should be neutered as far as I am concerned. A bit harsh? If the shoe fits…
