BREAKING: Trump's Epstein cover-up runs out of room as a judge orders Todd Blanche to personally deliver him the unredacted Epstein files!

Journalist and attorney Katie Phang's Epstein files lawsuit just paid another dividend. Today she told podcaster Aaron Parnas that the federal judge overseeing her lawsuit against Acting AG Todd Blanche just sent a message the Trump Justice Department won't enjoy hearing: "Show your work."

Phang explained to Parnas why she believes Saturday's court order is far more significant than it appears at first glance.

"So far, my lawsuit against Todd Blanche has been successful on every step," Phang said.

"This particular order speaks volumes about kind of generally what this judge thinks about the merits of my case, but also speaks about how the Trump DOJ just doesn't have credibility anymore."

The order directs Blanche to appear in court by Thursday with specific, unredacted Epstein files, emails and other documents. But Phang said the real significance isn't simply the deadline.

According to her, Judge Emmet Sullivan is requiring Blanche to do something the Justice Department apparently hoped to avoid.

"He has to show his work," Phang said. That means Blanche can't simply tell the court the redactions were appropriate. He must bring documentation supporting every decision to withhold information from the public.

Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Phang said the primary legal basis for redacting material is protecting victims.

She noted that both Blanche and Attorney General Pam Bondi have already acknowledged the files do not involve classified information or national security concerns, leaving victim protection as the central issue the court will examine.

"Judge Sullivan telling Blanche that he has to prove what he's claiming," Phang said, "I think is a bad sign for somebody who wants to be the Attorney General of the United States."

That may be the most important takeaway from Saturday's order.
Rather than accepting the Justice Department's assurances at face value, Judge Sullivan is requiring the department to produce the unredacted records and justify its redactions with evidence.

In other words, the court isn't simply taking the DOJ's word for it.
For critics who have questioned the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, that represents an important shift.

If the Justice Department wants to keep information hidden, it now has to explain precisely why. By Thursday afternoon, Todd Blanche won't just be dragging himself into court.

He'll be bringing proof – finally!

Stephen Miller: The Democrats have become a party of freaks, weirdos, losers and crazies.

[rwms @rwms3320]

Why would Blanche question a criminal (Ghislaine Maxwell) before you interviewed the witness/survivor? Because he wasn’t looking for the truth!!

BREAKING: A federal judge has just ordered Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to hand over the unredacted Epstein Files emails and documents for the court’s private review in MeidasTouch host Katie Phang’s lawsuit.

In a new order, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan directed the Justice Department to produce the unredacted records in camera (for the judge’s eyes only) by July 30, along with documentation backing up DOJ’s claims that the names and other information it blacked out are, in fact, the categories of people it says they are.

That’s significant because the court isn’t simply accepting the government’s representations at face value. Judge Sullivan is requiring the DOJ to prove its redactions are justified by reviewing the underlying records himself. In other words—they’re not buying what the DOJ is selling!!

Katie Phang said that while the judge denied her request to be present during the in-chambers review, she said it was “worth the ask.”

This is another important step in the legal battle over the Epstein Files and whether the Justice Department has properly withheld information from the public.
