Starting point is 00:00:22 free of charge. BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming, Ontario. The Midas Touch Network. has Donald Trump panicking as we are pursuing the truth about his dark past, and a federal judge just instantly issued an order in connection with a lawsuit filed against the Trump regime by Midas Touch host Katie Fang. Midas Touch host Katie Fang filed the first of its kind lawsuit seeking immediate relief to release the Epstein files under the Epstein Transparency Act.
Starting point is 00:01:01 was the first major private lawsuit filed by a member of the media to get the Epstein documents that are still being withheld, which may be as many as 5, 10, 15, 20 million documents being concealed by the Trump regime under the Epstein Transparency Act's requirement that these documents be turned over 30 days from back in December. So Katie Fang filed this lawsuit. We named Todd Blanche as a defendant. The Trump regime named as a defendant. It was filed in Washington, D.C. federal court. And then instantly, a federal judge issued an order holding the Trump regime's feet to the fire and demanding that the Trump regime immediately respond.

Starting point is 00:02:17 to her YouTube channel and tell her that Ben sent you over there. So Katie Fang filed this lawsuit against the Trump regime back on April 27, 2026, but just the other. day, she moved for a preliminary injunction. In other words, she's asking the judge now on an emergency basis, especially as we see Pam Bondi's despicable behavior during her meeting with the House Oversight Committee where she just said everything is Todd Blanche's fault. And she refused to answer any questions about her conversations with Donald Trump or what Trump told her about covering up this child sex trafficking ring. She refused to answer those questions.
Starting point is 00:03:00 So Katie Fang's like, look, enough is enough with all of this. We saw Howard Lutnik's scam where he didn't testify under oath and didn't testify on video but did an informal meeting. You have Pam Bondi showed up on Friday, informal meeting. We all know there are millions and millions of Epstein documents, the worst of the worst documents, even worse than what's been released already. being concealed by these predators, the Epstein class in the Trump regime.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Katie Feng files the lawsuit. Then on Thursday, she seeks an emergency injunction. On Friday, we get an order from the federal judge, and the federal judge rules as follows. Defendant's opposition brief, meaning Trump, has to respond to us by June 5th, 2026, and the plaintiff reply brief will be due June 8, June 8th, 2026. A hearing will now be taking place June 16th, 2026 at 11 a.m. in courtroom 24A in person before Judge
Starting point is 00:04:05 Emmett G. Sullivan. Here's the application that Katie Fang followed. Plaintiff's application for a preliminary injunction. Plaintiff Katie Fang moves the court for a preliminary injunction, requiring defendant Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general of the United States, to cure several instances of noncompliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Specifically, she requested that the names that were redacted of the perps, the perpetrators, the petos, the people who are being covered up, those names need to be released immediately, and the files that are being withheld need to be produced immediately.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Here's what Katie Fang wrote. The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the Attorney General to produce, with a few exceptions, all files in the Department of Justice's possession related to Jeffrey Epstein, Delane Maxwell, their networks, and their crimes. Defendant Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, has flouted Congress's directives and the act's unambiguous commands. Among other deficiencies, Blanche has redacted the names of Epstein's friends, associates, and potential co-conspirators, withheld documents implicating his own boss, Donald Trump,
Starting point is 00:05:20 in alleged crimes, and invoked exceptions to the disclosure that Congress never authorized. Plaintiff, Katie Fang, is an independent journalist, by the way, with the Midas Touch Network, who has covered Epstein, his network, and his victims for many years. In the past year alone, Fang has published 72 videos about Epstein, Maxwell, and the Epstein files. Fang relies on materials disclosed under the Act to report on many of the record. her stories, so Blanche's flagrant violations of the act made it much harder for Feng to do her job. Fang brought this case to obtain a comprehensive remedy for Blanche's unlawful conduct.
Starting point is 00:05:56 To that end, Feng intends to ask the court to appoint a special master to oversee Blanche's overall compliance with the act. When the nation's chief law enforcement officer persists in violating the plain letter of the law, ongoing judicial oversight is the only cure. For the moment, however, Fang seeks only to redress the irreparable injuries that she, fellow journalists and Epstein victims are suffering because of Blanche's most egregious violations, brazen violations of the act. And so she's requesting this injunction right here that will remove the redactions of the perpetrators and the co-conspirators.
Starting point is 00:06:36 And she wants Blanche to produce the set of illegally withheld documents from the FBI investigation into allegations regarding Donald Trump. And she wants to unredact the names of, in addition to the co-conspirators, to promptly publish to the Federal Register a redaction log about why these documents are being withheld and the documents that are being withheld.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Fang satisfies the requirements to obtain such relief. Blanche's violations of the act are obvious. And Fang accordingly is likely to prevail on the merits of her claims. Blanche's illegal acts are causing Fang, an investigative journalist covering the Epstein story, an injury and a loss creating Article III standing. And here's just additional facts from her complaint right here,
Starting point is 00:07:24 which talks about how the act required the attorney general to produce with very limited and precisely enumerated exceptions, all documents held by the Department of Justice or the Federal Bureau of Investigation concerning Epstein. They were due within 30 days of its enactment or no later than December 9th,000.
Starting point is 00:07:43 19, 20, 25, and those documents are being unlawfully with hell. Magic Spoon has figured out how to turn treats into something you could actually feel great about eating.

And remember, make sure you all
Starting point is 00:09:12 subscribe to Katie Fang. YouTube channel, but that hearing will now be taking place June 16, 2026. What we expect the Department of Justice to argue is what they argued when Roe Kana and Thomas Massey saw it a special master. We believe the Department of Justice is going to say the Epstein Transparency Act provides no cause of action or no remedy and nobody can do anything. It's what they've argued before. So we'll see if they argued here now that this is the first private lawsuit of its kind that's being brought. But I think that will be very revealing and show you the cover-up that's taking place. But an instant order, an instant response by the federal judge, the Trump regime's going to have to respond.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Now, I also want to share this with you because this video is really not out there at all. This was James Comer, the Maga Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee. And here's what he said on Friday when Pam Bondi was involved in the massive, massive cover-up. here's how he tried to spin it. Let's play this clip. Thank you, everyone, for being here today. This will be our 13th interview thus far in the Epstein investigation. We'll be having former Attorney General Pam Bondi. This is the second time she's come voluntarily. She came a few months ago for a briefing. Unfortunately, the Democrats got up and walked out of that briefing. many of the Republicans asked her questions for a couple of hours during that briefing,
Starting point is 00:10:44 and I appreciate that she's coming back today voluntarily for a transcribed interview. Now, notably as well, James Comer was asked, and there was actually survivors there as well, and they were asking questions also, and they were asking questions about the documents being withheld, and also why did you allow Pambandi to not testify under oath and not under a video camera, and why are you saying it's voluntary when she was subpoenaed? Watch what Comer had to say right here. There are documents that still have not been raised. Well, that's what we're going to ask about today, and we asked about that in the briefing. And at the time, if I remember correctly what the attorney general said, the former Attorney General,
Starting point is 00:11:28 was that they had turned over all the documents that they can legally turn over. Now, we're going to find out, those are the questions that we're going to have. We're going to go to the first hour. what documents remain, why haven't they been turned over? We're going to try to determine whether or not, you know, there could be more documents legally turned over. I want every document. I don't want anything held back.
Starting point is 00:11:49 And I think the majority of the committee is the same way. Does that answer satisfying, if some documents are still always with help? Well, I don't know. We're going to find out, and we'll come out and tell you what she said. We'll release all the transcripts. And if anyone is lying to Congress, that's a felony. Mr. Chairman, I think this was voluntary when she was subpoenaed.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Are you describing it's voluntary? She's coming in. She didn't do lack of the Clintons and takes seven months to come in. I mean, this is, she could have fought it. She could have fought it. And more from James Comer over here, where he says, the government has failed the survivors. The government has failed the survivors. Now he goes, not just Trump, but Trump failed the survivors and the government failed the survivors. Well, if that's the case, then hold the government accountable and hold the former government officials accountable. Make sure Pam Bondi goes under oath. and is filmed.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Don't give her an exception that everybody else has to follow. Here, play this clip. This case hasn't been thoroughly investigated. I think that's one thing that we all can see. When I subpoenaed the estate, I believe, with all my heart, some of the estate documents that we made,
Starting point is 00:12:56 we made 100% of the estate documents public. I believe that there were many in the Department of Justice had never seen many of those documents that were in the estate. And I believe that these, that had been looking at the estate had never seen any of the documents as the Department of Jeff said. I believe there are documents that New Mexico officials had never seen that that were in the Southern District of New York.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I believe there were documents that were in Palm Beach that they had never seen in New York. So what we're trying to do is just connect all the dots and see if there is a way to hold people accountable. Remember many of these problems happened 20 plus years ago. We're going to do everything in our ability to hold people accountable and try to understand how the government failed. But they did. They failed. There's no question. It's not just this administration. It goes back several administrations. So we're going to do everything in our ability to try to get justice for the victim. And now contrast that to how Democratic Congress member Robert Garcia responded. Here's what he had to say play this clip.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I just want to be very clear that we continue to be incredibly, disappointed of the decision to not have this interview videotaped and then released to the American public. The second thing we asked Chairman Comer is to ensure that this interview was under oath. We understand the Attorney General is going to be either answering questions from Congress, but it should have been under oath and it should be videotaped. We obviously have a lot of questions as it relates to why only 50% of the files have been released, why many of the survivors, they were literally put in danger
Starting point is 00:14:41 by the way the files were released, that private information should never have been released, and of course why this continues to be some type of cover-up. And so those are our questions. There are many questions. We'll be here for the next few hours. It's really important that we get to the truth, and if the Attorney General answers the questions truthfully,
Starting point is 00:15:01 and we'll continue to push, of course, for a videotape, release transcript for everybody else. More from Congressman Garcia here. It's also interesting that sitting next to her is DOJ counsel, somebody that currently works for the Department of Justice, who on multiple occasions stepped in and told the former attorney general that she was not going to answer those questions, especially when we ask questions of what the president directed her to do. So the DOJ is in there right now stopping questions about President Trump, and about what happened in the release of these files
Starting point is 00:15:38 and why so many survivors were docks and their information, of course, released to the public. And let me also just say, finally, before I turn this over to Liz, to Ms. Stein here, we asked questions about Galane Maxwell and the transfer. And again, she referred those questions to Todd Blanche in the Bureau of Prison. So let's be clear, we have many questions for Mr. Blanche
Starting point is 00:16:00 and for the Bureau of Prisons that yet Republicans are refusing to ask. Why was she transferred to a less secure facility? And Ms. Bondi claims to have no knowledge of the actual transfer, no knowledge that it was a less secure prison, and didn't know about it until she found out after the fact. And then we'll refuse to answer additional questions. So let me. And finally, here's what Garcia said as well. Let's play this clip.
Starting point is 00:16:27 It is clear in just this part of the interview that she continues to push. all of the investigation and the blame on acting AG Todd Blanche. She said, and I quote, acting AG Blanche was managing the entire investigation, end quote. And what you were going to hear in that interview, and what she's saying here in her words and remarks, is that it's with Todd Blanche, the curring acting AG,
Starting point is 00:17:00 that was leading the EPSY investigation, and quite frankly, all of the mistakes that we saw, the redactions, not protecting survivors, she continues to push that back onto the acting AG, Todd Blanche, who, by the way, was Donald Trump's former personal lawyer. So we need transparency, and I'm proud that the Midas Touch Network host, Katie Fang, is on the front lines of filing that lawsuit. Let me know what you think.
