    AG Blanche Ignores Judge's Orders and Tries to Delay My Epstein Lawsuit

    Despite being ordered to produce a certified list of the contents of the Administrative Record by 10/1, Todd Blanche once again has decided his timeline is more important than that of Judge Sullivan’s. He is asking to postpone this deadline, claiming that it’s “not a good use of the Court’s time or taxpayer resources.” Katie Phang explains why this is just more evidence that Blanche is trying to avoid having to produce the unredacted Epstein Files & why this court-ordered info is so important for the case.

Katie Phang explains the stupidity of his legal arguments & why he’s destined to lose today at the emergency hearing in this case.

    Sidebar With Katie Phang - 9/23/2026

    Today on Sidebar with Katie Phang, Katie breaks down the Survivors’ Rights Restitution Act with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, who explains how the new bill would provide financial relief to Epstein survivors and other survivors of sexual violence. They also discuss the highly concerning rise in cases of Black people found hanged across the U.S. and how these cases connect to the legacy of lynching and the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. Katie also details Trump’s disastrous week, including his speech at the UN General Assembly, the cancellation of Obamacare policies affecting roughly 750,000 people, and a new poll showing his approval rating at a career-low 32%. Plus, Katie unpacks the latest legal developments in her lawsuit against AG Todd Blanche over the Epstein Files, updates on the Press Ban case, and the criminal charges filed in Massachusetts against influencer Clavicular.
