Katie Phang files scathing lawsuit against AG Todd Blanche

journalismSep 2, 2026411,025

Katie Phang filed a seven-page reply in her suit under the Epstein Files Transparency Act pressing U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to order Alabama Attorney General Todd Blanche to produce unredacted, handwritten FBI notes and to provide a written justification for every redaction. Phang told listeners on her podcast she will "keep my foot on the neck of Attorney General Todd Blanche" after the filing demanded Blanche release damning FBI notes within five days. One handwritten note cited in her filing alleges President Donald Trump sexually abused a 13-year-old after Epstein introduced them in 1984, a claim Phang and other reports say Trump denies and remains uncorroborated. Phang accused Blanche of misreading and conflating statutory sections to avoid the redaction-log requirement and called his written response a "half-a, " explanation and "dumb" excuse. Phang said Judge Sullivan's preliminary injunction from June already forced material out of the Department of Justice and has exposed what she calls concealment and violations of the law. The filing asks the court to compel production of the notes and to reject Blanche's claim that duplicative material permits withholding under the statute.
