So the next time I go out to grill, I got to scrub like a madman before I can get to my cooking. It's been so frustrating.
But I'm using this stuff right now called Bullshot Barbecue. It's a full.

Welcome to a special edition of Legal A-F.
You know the top line already.
Katie Fang has prevailed in her case against the Trump administration and Todd Blanche
to obtain the rest of the Epstein files.
But there's a story behind that that's important because this, I believe, opens the door,
breaks the glass ceiling for all independent journalists. This is not going to be the last case.
This is going to be the first case. This is the blueprint. This is the trailblazer case for
independent journalists, because we know mainstream media won't do it, to step into the fray,
step into the breach, and file lawsuits against the Trump administration to get the information
that we so desperately deserve to get the transparency that the Trump administration has been
promising us but has been peeing down our leg and telling us that it's raining. Those days are
over. This will be taught in history books and in law school books about how an independent
journalist got off the sidelines of commentary and went after the administration to obtain the
documents that she needs to do her job and to support the survivors and the victims of the Epstein
file. Now, I can keep going on, or I could bring in Katie Fang.
the plaintiff in the case and a friend. Hi, Katie.
Wow, that's an intro.
I told you, I might make you blush. That's how I feel. I believe that this is not the last,
first of all, I don't think it's your last case. And I don't think this,
I think this is now a blueprint that all independent journalists that are in a like position,
because you made such great arguments. We'll talk about the nuances and the way you got,
You got around the Epstein files.
Does the Transparency Act have a private right of action or not?
Who cares?
There was final agency action when Todd Blanched told the American people, we're done.
That's all the docs.
We did some redactings, things we're not going to do.
We're done.
That is what we call in the business final agency action.
The Administrative Procedures Act says that people can sue if they don't like the results
and they want oversight over that final agency action.
get into all that. That was such a brilliant strategy to get to the bottom of it. But why don't we
start with things that people wouldn't pick up from reading the filings or even this amazing order,
which we posted on legal a half substack by Judge Emmett Sullivan? Talk about why you didn't bring
the case for sensationalism. You didn't bring the case. So people know you already. They love you
already. Why did you bring the case? And what are you trying to do both for journalism and for the
survivors of the Epstein scandal.
You know, Mike, I've talked a lot about how I didn't grow up to be a journalist, right?
I mean, I frankly, I didn't even grow up to be a lawyer.
This is this, you know, and, but being a journalist, it's taught me that that a lot of
what we learned as lawyers is very relevant, right?
As a journalist, you want to be able to deliver the facts and the evidence to
readers, subscribers, viewers, whomever.
And in the absence of being able to do that, what are you supposed to do? Just stand there on the sidelines and pretend like you're contented with what has being offered to you. I think all of you know, and you especially Mike, you've known me for decades, I'm never contented with just crumbs. And I'm especially not going to take a corrupt department of justice that is being led originally by Pammy Joe with a bad hair, who's now been jettisons and now Todd Blanche, both personal lawyers for Donald Trump. I'm not going to be.
let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to only spoon feed to me to you and others here
in independent media information that legally is insufficient. Because then you and I just end up
being mouthpieces for a federal government agency that is blatantly breaking the law on the
daily since December 19th of 2025. And so not only did I realize that these redactions made
it nearly impossible for me to be able to do my job, but there was a kind of text.
temporal sense of urgency for some of it, especially as we get closer to the November midterms,
it becomes a politically radioactive issue, which we know it has been. But then I'm also suffering
economic harm because subscribers, viewers lead to income for me. And again, never been about the money.
It's always been about kind of being able to be the person that breaks down that door so that everybody
else and the hordes of truth seekers and justice seekers can now go through that open gate.
And I got to tell you, I geeked out yesterday when this happens because not only is this
order spectacular, but it calls Todd Blanche out on the mat for his just arrogance and his
disregard for the rule of law. And Judge Sullivan clearly knew where he wanted to go with this
memorandum opinion, but yesterday's events in the afternoon, I just want to mention for a minute
are incredibly relevant. We did a notice of supplemental filing on Wednesday afternoon showing
Judge Sullivan that the DOJ was talking out of both sides of its mouth. It had spent so much
time telling me, as Katie Fang, the plaintiff in this lawsuit, that FOIA, the Freedom of Information
Act, was the remedy for me and not the Administrative Procedure Act. And that's why my lawsuit was
defective. But then we got our hands on a response to a FOIA request that was made. And the
response was from the DOJ, and guess what they said to this guy who wanted Glenn Maxwell and
Jeffrey Epstein documentation from DOJ. Oh, sir, FOIA doesn't work for you. The Epstein Files Transparency Act
works for you. I mean, it's like truly the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing,
but beyond that, Mike, it also showed they're trying to play games and they're playing games with
child rape, child predation, sexual abuse, and child trafficking and sex trafficking. Because
it wasn't just the children. There was also adults that were involved in this.
And so we filed this notice of supplemental filing on Wednesday.
And Thursday morning at like 10 a.m. Judge Sullivan orders the Department of Justice to respond by 1 p.m. Eastern yesterday.
And I loved this. In his order, Judge Sullivan says, do not repeat the same things that you have been repeating so far.
Because he was just done.
First they missed the deadline, right?
They never filed anything at all.
It's not that they missed the deadline, Mike.
They never filed anything at all.
And so fast forward, yeah, they blew past it.
And what, I mean, and as practice, you know, as practitioners, Mike, you and I would never ignore a federal order.
Even if I had nothing to say to the judge, I would file something that says,
the judge, we rely upon our previously stated arguments and our response and opposition.
But I would never ignore judge.
They ignored it.
They wiped their ass with it.
And so the judge actually made sure there was a footnote in his memorandum opinion stating,
as of the filing of this memorandum opinion, the DOJ has failed to respond in any way whatsoever to my order.
And when I get to certain passages that prove your point, you know, he chastises Todd Blanche
for only focusing myopically on a failed argument that you did not have standing.
And we'll talk about that.
And you didn't have the type of informational, reputational, economic harm in the judge says you do.
And it was great.
It lays out your entire successful career as an intrepid reporter and journalist and legal
competitor, including citations to how many views.
you've gotten on your channel, which I loved. It was like a commercial for the Katie Bang News
channel by Judge Emmett Sullivan in the middle. But it also chastises, as we would expect, Todd Blanche
for his violations of the Epstein Act and his failure to respond substantively to your arguments,
and therefore the judge says, since you didn't respond substantively, you have waived your opportunity.
We have to assume that what her argument is is correct. You and I would never have a brief
that made a series of points we would never have ignored.
That's debate 101 from high school.
You have to address each of the points or you lose.
Yeah, so Judge Sullivan said repeatedly in his order,
the attorney general has conceded that he has violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act,
which bigger picture, I've been talking about this with some folks since yesterday.
You know, his confirmation, his Senate confirmation hearings coming up in front of
of Senate Judiciary, July 15th or 16th, and this is a very big deal.
I expect this to be a very big part of his confirmation process, because how can you have
an attorney general in the permanent capacity of AG who violates the law and has conceded in a
federal case concerning the greatest stain on American history with the greatest, you know,
most horrific pedophile in American history, Jeffrey Epstein, that he's conceded and he's violated
the law?
The your case and the result and that finding by the judge, if that's not the first module of questions that are asked in cross-examination by Senator Sheldon White House and Blumenthal.
Cory Booker.
I'd be shocked.
About a week or so ago, 101, you and I covered it 101 state judges yoke together.
I know now Judge Ludick was also involved in that.
State and federal judges.
Yes, former state federal.
I filed a bar complaint.
I'm a member of that particular department of the first department in New York that Todd Blanche is a member of.
And laid out in a 62-page single-spaced.
I mean, that bar complaint, that should just be a lot.
But now they got to add the Katie Fang filing.
Let me just read a couple of things.
And I had Judge Ludig on two days ago.
And I asked them point blank.
I said, let me ask you something, Judge.
is Todd Blanche fit to be the Attorney General of the United States.
I've never, I've interviewed him a dozen times.
I've never seen him this angry.
And he was like, he's like, you know, he had,
he's just like looking at me like this up, Michael, this is the most corrupt
Department of Justice and Attorney General in 250 years.
And then it went on, it went on from there.
Let me read from some aspects of the order by Judge, the 48-page decision by Judge Sullivan.
And you and I, when you had you on originally when the case was filed, I was like, you got a great judge.
This is a great judge, great judge for the case who takes things seriously.
Here's what he wrote, among other things.
It says on page 13 about you.
Ms. Fang seeks the information that she claims has been illegally withheld, quote,
because as a journalist covering the Epstein story, she owes her audience, the public.
and the victims of Epstein, Maxwell, and others, the most accurate and comprehensive reporting possible
and talks about the illegal conduct of that.
Earlier, he's one of the, he finally got around a calling, which I'm glad,
Galane Maxwell, a child sex trafficker as opposed to the person.
She should never, she should never be exempted from the proper titling.
She's been convicted.
Yes, he deserves it.
And just as a little bit of background, your case, step up.
into a void that was created by a number of federal judges because of procedural reasons and other
reasons that refused to provide the oversight over the production of the Epstein files that was required.
Two judges in New York, right?
Judge Engelmeyer and Judge Berman, even a judge that we know down in Florida was like,
you know what I got limitations here on what I can do. I'm really the criminal court judge
on Maxwell and Epstein and they passed and then Congress ran in there, Democrats ran in there,
And you know them well.
And they couldn't get it.
Yeah.
Special master.
We need a special master.
I like, I can't.
Your case, now you've got your order to show cause that either produce the documents
that have been redacted.
They reduce those documents about the complaint from the woman who said she was 13 and sexually
abused by Donald Trump.
They released the foreign language documents or they show why they cannot.
And they start translating those foreign documents, right?
Yeah.
So, yes, they never even bothered to touch the foreign language.
documents, which is stunning because, I mean, I'm going to be spending actually some time in
Europe over the summer. And part of that is to be able to investigate more on the Epstein
sex trafficking ring internationally. How do you not translate that? Blanche says,
eh, we don't have capacity. It's the largest, most powerful law from in the world. And you
don't have capacity to bring in somebody to do a translation of these important documents, number one,
but number two. One of the biggest things that you just mentioned is a special master, Michael,
which I love a special master because we've seen them effectively do work in big federal prosecutions
and other cases, even civil cases, right? They help the judge manage something that is voluminous
and very overwhelming when it comes to content. But the special master asked by me was obviously
inspired by Roe Kana and Tom Massey, who were told, as you said by the federal judge in New York,
I wish I could, but I can't because you people don't have standing to come to me and try to have this done.
And he did it politely, but he said, look, what you're asking for, I'm sure somebody will be able to do.
So the fact that Judge Sullivan said, not only do I have standing to come forward and pursue this, Mike,
but the special master thing becomes very important because this is just a preliminary injunction.
But inside his order, Judge Sullivan said that I am likely to succeed on the merits of my lawsuit,
which speaks to the bigger success of my lawsuit because the ultimate goal, Michael, is the entirety of the Epstein files produced,
including the shit that Blanche continues to sit on, making sure that they're properly redacted.
Who's supposed to find out if it's properly redacted? The special master. And so it all kind of
fits together in the bigger pieces of the bigger picture puzzle. And of course, they'll appeal
and they'll take it to the D.C. Circuit, which has people auditioning every day for the Supreme
Court. But we have done good. You, me, Midas, everybody who's tuning in. This is a collective
win for all of us, because Judge Sullivan made it clear in his or
order, Blanche must produce this quote to the public. He didn't say produced to Katie Fang,
the plaintiff. He said, produced to the public because he understood, Sullivan understood,
that I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing it for all of us. And most importantly, for the
survivor community, which has been reaching out and just stunning in their support and just stunning
and their appreciation for just somebody saying, enough, we got to fight. And this is how we
move this ball forward. Yeah, when I interviewed somebody that you, you sent my way, Danny Benski,
who you did that great Donald J. Trump and Epstein Memorial Library visit with, very moving,
poignant. Danny, I know you know the staff, but for our audience, you know, of the 1400,
1600, whatever the total, not 1400 or so Epstein survivors and victims, I asked her,
because we always talk about them, I said, how many have actually voluntarily come forward?
It's a very tough thing to do after being trafficked, being preyed upon, and sexually abused to come forward.
I don't expect it.
It takes tremendous courage, and it's an individual decision, despite Malani and Trump saying they should all testify in Congress.
Like, right, the victim's.
On the congressional record.
It's the only time the truth comes out is on the congressional record.
Yeah, rape victims need to go to Congress in order to get justice.
Okay.
So I asked Danny, just as a point of reference, what, how many of the 1400 have actually come out?
She said 25.
Think about it.
She said the total story has not been told because it can't be told because there's only 25 of us that have come out and told our story.
Right.
And so not everybody.
So, you know, she can only tell her story.
She, you know, her personal story.
And they have to come forward because as Danny has explained, Genel Lisa Jones, Charlene Mochard and others, they were intentionally siloed by Epstein and Maxwell.
And so their awareness of each other as survivors and victims has all.
only come out from those that had been willing to step forward.
But then we also, at the other end of the spectrum,
have to talk about the people that didn't want to come out,
but were outed either intentionally or through gross negligence
by the Department of Justice when they improperly released these files.
We have now heard from a few victims and survivors that said,
I never wanted to come forward.
I always wanted to be either a jane-do or never known.
Because look at the surrounding fur and media around all of this, right?
And so a lot of them said, including one at the shadow hearing in West Palm that I attended
at House Oversight Dems did, Rosa is the name that she used.
She never wanted to be outed.
She never wanted to be identified.
And she's like, I am now here because I want people to understand that there has to be
something done.
If you are going to make me a public figure, now you have to actually have the people
pay the price for what they have perpetrated.
And this is part of the goal of this lawsuit.
And back to how I started, you being the Trailblazer.
And I really believe, it's not just because we're friends.
It's really because I would say it even if I didn't know you.
Because we all waited, and now I understand why, for one of the 25 to come forward and want to be the plaintiff in a case like this.
Because, you know, whether we were going to have the argument about the Epstein Transparency Act, private right of action or the APA, we thought, well, maybe the standard bearer for this case would be a survivor.
But look what you, why would you want to subject yourself to that, to that?
I mean, one thing, you and I got rhinoceros hide, right?
Right?
We're out there.
We're out there fighting the fight.
I mean, but you know, Michael, it's one thing for a victim, but then think about this, too,
let's talk legally.
Let's say a victim survivor comes forward and says, you violated the law,
Todd Blanche, because you put my information out there in violation of the law.
The immediate remedy is limited to.
just that victim. And they would say, oh, sorry, oops, my bad. It's now been redacted.
Pre-re-published now on the DOJ website, the fix has been made.
It's too narrow. My lawsuit is for everything, right? It's not just for the Danny Benski's who
still has part of her identity still out there ridiculously so after all this time.
My lawsuit's not just for Danny. It's just for everyone to be able to look at and be able to
obtain this information. And that's really has always been the
the goal. And so I sit here now and I still am the only lawsuit pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
It's just crazy, right? Let me read to our audience what we just talked about on page 35 of the order.
This is about your likelihood to prevail on your claim, which is we're in a preliminary, just for people
joining late, we're in a preliminary injunction, which means the judge is taking a peek under the hood,
looking down at what he thinks at the end of a trial who will be the winner or loser.
There's other factors for preliminary injunction.
But the one, you got to be, in order to have an injunction issued in your favor,
you got to show the judge that you're likely to win at the end of a case.
And they're sort of looking down the road now.
Here's what he said about that.
Ms. Fang argues that she is likely to succeed on the merits of her APA claim relevant to the motion.
Ms. Fang identifies five categories of violations of the court.
the Epstein Act. First, the Attorney General has violated the Epstein Act by, that's Blanche now,
by redacting the names of senders and recipients in at least eight email exchanges with Mr. Epstein
regarding a torture video and sexual activity with young women, including minors. Second,
the Attorney General has violated the Epstein Act by redacting the names of co-defendants in a draft
indictment. The names of individuals identified as co-conspirators and the sender and recipients,
in a department briefing email.
Third, the Attorney General has violated the Epstein Act
by withholding certain materials
mentioning President Trump,
specifically notes from FBI interviews with a victim
who has alleged that in the 1980s,
when she was 13 years old, Epstein introduced her Trump,
who in turn assaulted her.
Fourth, this is all from Judge Sullivan.
The Attorney General has violated the Epstein Act
by not reviewing or producing any foreign language materials.
Fifth, the Attorney General has violated the Epstein Act by failing to publish any redaction logs.
The Attorney General does not respond substantively to any of these arguments.
Rather, he states that based on his jurisdictional arguments, which by the way, the judge says you don't even give me like case law for it,
Ms. Fang's APA claims fail as a matter of law.
By not responding substantively, the Attorney General has conceded Ms. Fang's merits arguments in the pendent.
motion. And then he cites a case about. Accordingly, Ms. Fang is likely to succeed on the merits
of her claim injunction granted. Yes. And the judge says, not only are your case citations
not applicable to the facts at hand, but in some instances, Todd Lange, you didn't even bother
to cite to any case law. You just kind of talked out of your ass and said, she's just not going to win
or this is not going to work. I mean, it is so JV-level kind of representation going on here.
That's freshman. Freshman basketball.
It is like some, but, you know, all kidding aside, though, this is the kind of rule of law,
judicial work that we all need right now at a very time, a very fraught time where this
administration continues to flout the law openly.
And obviously, as we've seen Blanche and others doing, this is the type of judicial response.
It's not judicial activism, folks.
This is Judge Sullivan saying, this is the law.
This is what Ms. Fang has done.
And this is why it works or it doesn't work.
But what this was is, by all definitions, a slam dunk, every single thing I asked for in my PI.
I actually was not sure.
I was like, listen, I think I maybe get the foreign language documents, you know, translated.
Maybe I get that redaction log, you know, that he's supposed to be doing, but I wasn't what the judge is like, you get it all.
You get all of it because you are likely to succeed on the merits of your claim, which also was incredibly encouraging.
And that's the response that we obviously wanted from this court.
And here's one of my favorite, one of my favorite paragraphs in the entire order by Judge Sullivan on page 42.
The attorney general argues that Ms. Fang has acknowledged that she has continued to publish,
on her YouTube channel, the Katie Fang News Channel, for those that don't know, links are below,
and has not been prevented from covering the Epstein matter generally.
He also argues that the fact that plaintiff released an episode just two months ago
recorded over 315,000 views to date, and another three months ago,
they recorded 841,000 views to date has shown that the absence of these records has not
silenced her. Pause. However, that Ms. Fang has continued to work,
does not mean that the economic harm is that the economic harm is not irreparable for the reasons
explained above because she would do additional reporting based on the information she seeks. He's so
smart. Yeah. I mean, and again, you know, when it comes to standing, informational harm is kind of,
you know, a very pioneering area of arguing, like because this law is supposed to give information
and if you don't get it, you're harmed.
I mean, look, some people were like,
I don't know if this's going to work,
but the economic harm component of this is very real and concrete,
and the law is legion on this.
And there's a direct correlation between the views and my ability to make money.
But again, not about the money, never about the money,
only about being able to say with confidence that the law has been satisfied.
And that's the other thing Judge Sullivan made it clear.
I'm not asking for new law.
I'm not asking for out of, I'm not asking the DOJ to do something more than what the law requires it to do.
Because that is something that would happen if you went to like FOIA.
They'd say, no, I don't have an obligation to create something that doesn't already exist,
a, IE, EG, or go the redaction log.
But the EFSIFiles Transparency Act says you have to give the redaction log,
which is why I'm so grateful that Judge Sullivan really ran with our reply.
We did an incredibly strong reply to their opposites.
brief and Judge Sullivan really tracked a lot of the stuff they argued because it's the law,
folks. I'm not making stuff out of, you know, whole cloth here. Like this is what the law says.
And the reason we're talking about money is not because Katie sought money. She's not seeking money.
This is an equitable relief for document release. Okay. Now whether you get attorney's fees down
the road, that's a different story. But in terms of the only reason we're talking about
economic damage is because in order for Katie to have standing an Article III injury to bring
the case as a plaintiff, she has to show this combination of sort of informational harm,
economic harm. That's the only reason. I mean, I don't want to be crass to be talking about
economics about survivors of child sex abuse, but we have to because of the mechanics of how
Katie doesn't even get into the courtroom. Right? The door is locked to her.
unless you can make out that claim, which she did.
And I love here as we end our time together,
because I know, Katie, thank you for being so generous with your time,
that the judge has, he's not sitting around either.
And he picked, and they don't get the July 4th weekend
to go celebrate Donald Trump's whatever birthday.
My second, they need to respond, start translating.
You can see the Department of Justice groaning.
Remember all the drama from the department.
of Justice just even getting what they got out as badly that rollout as it was, as botched as it was at the hands of Todd Blanche.
Yeah, July 2nd.
It's a week from today is when it's supposed to be produced on or before.
And so I suspect somebody is having a really bad day at the Department of Justice because if this was not on Todd Blanche's radar before, it is most certainly on his freaking radar now.
Fireworks have started early, everybody, in the nation's capital, courtesy of Katie Fang, the Katie Fang News Channel.
I just am so over the moon for what you were, what you did, the bravery around it and the trailblazing
nature of it.
It will open the door.
I assure you, they'll be teaching this in law schools about informational harm in journalism.
And they'll be teaching, you know, my daughter, your daughter, yes, they will, about how
Donald Trump was forced to be transparent about the child sex trafficking ring that he's connected
