Phang vs. Blanche - The Epstein Files Transparency Act Lawsuit Part Two

After months of promises, missed deadlines, disappearing documents, and a release that somehow exposed victims while still leaving major questions about what DOJ withheld, journalist and attorney Katie Phang sued Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche over the Epstein files.

In this episode, I get into the initial lawsuit complaint, and some embarrassing audio of Todd Blanch that I'm sure he wished didn't exist.
