🚨Epstein Hearing BLOWS UP in TRUMP’S FACE!!!

Midas Touch host Katie Phang had a huge. win in federal court today in her. lawsuit against the Department of. Justice and Todd Blanche, a federal. judge in Washington, D.C. pursuant to. the Epstein Transparency Act, has. ordered the Trump regime to forthwith. produce a timeline for their production. of the redaction and privilege log. Also, Katie Phang has been asked to. prepare a proposed order that would. require the Trump regime to turn over. FBI 302 notes regarding allegations.

against Donald Trump that are in the. Epstein files. Trump denies the. allegations from the underage girl at. the time, um but these notes exist. The. FBI 302 had been produced in a uh. redacted form, but re- produced the. notes as well. And then in addition, there were individuals claiming that. they were uh victims, but they appear to. be co-conspirators and not actually. victims. And Katie Phang brought that to. light and the federal judge uh ordered.

the Trump regime to produce documents. trying to show that these are actually. not the co-conspirators, but the. victims. And the judge says, "I'm going. to look at that." And also ask Katie. Phang to prepare a proposed order. regarding the judge's review and. potential production of those documents. if it turns out that the individuals are. indeed not actual victims, but are. actually the perpetrators pretending to. be the victims in order to hide the fact. that they were co-conspirators. Now, also the federal judge, Judge Sullivan, made it very clear that he will not be.

afraid to throw the Trump regime in. contempt. He said, "I have a history as. a federal judge of not being afraid to. hold the DOJ in contempt." He referenced. a prior criminal prosecution regarding. the late Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. This judge presided over that case back. in 2008, which was eventually dismissed. before Senator Stevens died, but this. judge uncovered that the DOJ at the time. engaged in a lot of uh unlawful and. unethical conduct and held the DOJ in.

civil contempt. So, the judge says, "I. don't want to go down that road, but I'm. not afraid to hold all of you Trump DOJ. officials in contempt." One of the. things that's worth noting as well, uh. the Trump regime sent some like lawyers, young lawyers who had no clue what the. hell they were even talking about. Apparently, it was very humiliating for. this Trump DOJ official named Andrew. Block, a young lawyer who was basically. told to take the fall for the Trump DOJ. Apparently, his hands were shaking, his.

face was red, he was very nervous, and. his voice was wavering the entire time. I don't know, Judge, I don't know, I. don't know, I don't know, I don't know. And the judge says, "Well, you better. know, cuz now you're here in my. courthouse. So, shut up, and I'm not. afraid to hold you in contempt, also. I. want to see a proposed order about when. the hell you're going to turn over that. redaction log.". By the way, the redaction log will show. us the millions of documents that the. Trump regime is withholding, and every. single time they withheld the document, they have to give an explanation about.

why they are withholding a document. And. so, this guy, Andrew Block, this DOJ. lawyer, the nervous guy who was. red-faced and all of that, he's the guy. who has to now you know, he says, "We're. going to turn it over." So, Katie Fang's. going to prepare an order that the judge. is going to sign, forcing the DOJ to. turn over this redaction log, turn over. the FBI 302 notes regarding potential. allegations against Trump, which Trump. denies. And then, uh also, uh justify. the DOJ's going to have to justify who. these people are, who they claim to be. victims, but it really seems it's.

co-conspirators pretending to be. victims, but we will have to see. Let me. bring in Katie Fang to talk about uh. what went down here. Katie Fang talks. about how Trump's DOJ, uh Todd Blanche. didn't show up, but they brought in. these young lawyers who had no clue what. they were talking about. Let's play this. clip. >> Inside a federal courthouse, it's in. front of Judge Emmet Sullivan. There. were three lawyers for the Department of. Justice today, none of whom was Todd. Blanche, one of whom was Andrew Block. that I, as you know from my episode. earlier today, I predicted that he was.

going to roll up into court today. No. Stanley Woodward, no Todd Blanche. The. line prosecutor who's been handling some. of the day-to-day was there. His first. name is Saif, I forget his last name. And then there was a brand new face of. some federal prosecutor. Um, I think his. first name was Garrison. So, he was. there. Straight out of the gate, what do. we know? None of these lawyers from the. Department of Justice representing Todd. Blanche today knew what the hell was. going on. Especially this guy, Andrew Block. Whether you think it was an intentional.

thing where he could sit there and feign. ignorance with Judge Sullivan or he. legit sincerely didn't know because he. had just been dropped into or parachuted. into this case, who knows. But it was. very evident the second that Judge. Sullivan took the bench that this guy. did not know and did not have answers. and that did not go well with Judge. Sullivan at all. So, I'm going to go to. my notes and I'm going to walk through. them with you because I want to make. sure that you guys also have the full. flavor of what happened. >> And then over here you have Katie Fang.

talking about what went down as well. regarding the so-called victim. redactions, which actually seem to be. co-conspirators, as well as those FBI. 302 notes. Let's play it. >> The judge immediately started with the. redactions for the names of the victims. that Todd Blanche claims have either. self-identified or identified through. counsel that they are victims and that's. the reason why their names or their. email addresses have been redacted from. these documents that it were provided to. Judge Sullivan in an unredacted form for.

an in camera or in chambers review. There was a second binder. We don't know what's inside of it, but. according to this lawyer, Andrew Block, this second binder that was handed up to. the judge today contained the quote. corroborating documentation that the. judge had originally ordered from Todd. Blanche that would substantiate the. claim that the redactions pertained to. people again who claim that they are. victims or they have either. self-identified, excuse me, or they used. lawyers to identify themselves as.

victims. Andrew Block says that the second binder. handed up to the judge is a quote. representative sample of this victims in. this case. and that according to the attorney. review protocol, which I've covered here. before, which was just made up by the. DOJ and was not done in compliance, frankly, with the Epstein Fals. Transparency Act because it expands the. DOJ's um. spectrum of redactions and withholdings.

There is a quote sliding scale of. documentation available to the DOJ when. it comes to people being able to. identify themselves as victims. The. department didn't weigh on the amount, didn't consider the amount of. information, they just took at face. value a representation by a victim or by. their counsel, and that's how they. applied the redactions. So, that is what. Andrew Block told the judge. The judge. said, "I will look at your submission of. the second binder, and I will look at it. privately in chambers, and I will.

advise.". Now, with regards to those interview. notes, the handwritten interview notes. by the FBI agents of that 13-year-old. girl who alleges that of the woman who. alleges when she was 13 that she was. sexually abused by Donald Trump and. physically battered. According to this DOJ lawyer, Andrew. Block, because those handwritten FBI. notes are duplicative of the FBI 302s, which are like the official reports that. are generated, that's why they're not. turning them over.

And the judge pressed him and said, "I. don't understand. You don't have any. additional information for me. You were. supposed to come to court today and give. me additional information as to why you. cannot manually redact these handwritten. notes." The judge asked Mr. Block, "How. many pages are there of these notes so I. have an understanding of what's at. issue?" Block said, "I don't have that. info." Court says, "You don't have an. approximation of the numbers? And how. about have there ever been other. handwritten notes that have been. published that have been redacted?" To.

which Andrew Block said, "Not to my. knowledge." That is an untrue statement. We know that handwritten notes that. accompany F the FBI 302s that they've. been turned over. We've seen them. ourselves in the production by the DOJ. At this point, this Andrew Block guy was. struggling. Face turning red, hands were. shaking, he was stuttering, he wasn't. really able to explain himself to the. court cuz the court kept on saying, "Well, what what is the cause? I asked. Blanche to come and show cause why he.

could not do these redactions of the. handwritten notes." And Block says, "Well, it's just duplicative." But. remember people, they never said it was. duplicative. They said it was. substantially similar. They said the. handwritten notes were substantially. similar to the 302s and that's the. reason why they weren't turning them. over. So then the court said to to Block, "You. have nothing to add to the previous. response that was made by Todd Blanche.". Block says, "We're just looking for a. clear order." And the court goes, "Well, what's unclear here?". Yikes.

And the court says, "Can't you tell me. is there another way to do the. redactions?". Okay, no response from Block. There's a. we need a good clean order here cuz. we're having difficulty understanding at. this procedural procedure what you want. us to do. I mean, when I tell you how. long this was, it was horrifically. painfully long. The back and forth on. this, I was embarrassed for this DOJ. attorney because he didn't really know. how to answer these questions, right? And so what Andrew Block on behalf of. the DOJ did, he spent so much time.

complaining about the Herculean efforts. that hundreds of DOJ personnel undertook. to be able to do the redactions for. millions of pages. Judge Sullivan was. unswayed by this. And let me be clear, Judge Sullivan was not being cruel. He. wasn't being impatient. In fact, I was. like, this guy is giving him so much. grace. This judge is giving this AUSA so. much grace that I didn't think this AUSA. deserved. And yet the judge was. insistent on trying to let this AUSA. save his, I guess, position on what he.

was saying here. So, >> More from Katie Phang right here. regarding uh the redaction log. Remember, they the Trump regime is. withholding at least 5 million. documents. That would that needs to be. documented in a redaction log, which we. don't believe the Trump regime's. created. Now, they're going to be forced. to create this redaction log and produce. it forthwith. Play this clip. >> action log. The judge asked Andrew Block, "Do you. have a time frame by which you're going. to be able to provide this?" And Block. said, "I don't." Block says there's a.

process underway regarding the Federal. Register log. I don't know the timing. Judge Sullivan says, "Can you give me a. date by which you're going to accomplish. this?" Cuz it was supposed to have been. done, or at least there's an. interpretation of the law that it should. have been done by December of 2025. Andrew Block says, "I don't have a. date." Judge Sullivan says, "But you. knew it was going to be discussed today. So, how come you don't have any of this. information I'm asking of you?" And. Block says, "It's coming, Judge, but. this is all out of my control." Then the.

judge is like, "Don't you have a time. frame? 30, 60 days? Someone from DOJ has. to answer this." And the judge says, "The Epstein Act said that this had to. be done. Congress intended that this. should be completed back in December of. 2025. So, I need to know what is the DOJ. doing to comply with this redaction. log?". And then the judge said something that I. thought was really important, people. He. said, "Is this case being afforded. priority in the DOJ? How is this case.

not a front and center prioritized case. at the DOJ? It's important. It's the. Epstein files. And when Judge Sullivan. said this, I was like, yes, finally. somebody is actually saying out loud. what we've all been saying, which is. this should be the priority for the DOJ. Then Judge Sullivan says, how is it. nobody can give me a date by which this. redaction log is going to be done with. the Federal Register? I want you to get. that person on the phone. If not that, I'm going to be forced to impose a date. and I don't want to be arbitrary and do.

that. Judge Sullivan then said, Congress. intended the public and the victims to. get this information. My job as the. judge to ensure that this law is. enforced. Then Andrew Blocker behalf of. Todd Blanche says, "Oh, Mr. Blanche has. tried to comply with this order, but we. need a clear clean order." And then. Judge Sullivan said, "You want another. order? And it's going to say something. to the effect of, I really mean it this. time." At which point in time the. courtroom erupted in laughter because it.

was just so absurd because Block kept on. saying, "I need a clean order. I need a. clean clear order." And the judge said, "You know what? Part of me contemplated. doing sealed proceedings where I'm. inviting just the government into court. and no one else and allow them to speak. to me and walk through these unredacted. items." But then the judge says, "But. then I said no because the public has. the right to know what's going on. The. victims have the right to know, quote, what the hell is going on in this case.". Now, with regards to the foreign language. documents, the court says, "I order the.

defendant Todd Blanche to initiate. review of these documents and to give. notice that this review is underway.". And instead, Todd Blanche said that the. court can't supplant Congress's. acceptance of it's not practicable to be. able to do these interpretations or. these translations. And Solomon said, "I'm just trying to ensure compliance. here because this is a requirement that. is long overdue for these documents.". Andrew Block on behalf of Todd Blanche. says, "I don't even know how many. documents there are." when the judge.

asked him. And then the judge says, "But. you knew this was going to be discussed. today." Do you guys see a theme here or. a common denominator questioning from. the court? You're at the podium as. counsel for the Attorney General and you. don't have this information. I mean, this is the kind of dialogue that was. going on and on. And then the judge took. a. maybe 30-40 minute recess and when he. resumed back on the bench, he said, "Look." He ordered me as Ms. Fang to be. able to prepare a proposed order about. the FBI notes. The handwritten notes.

must be produced in camera, in chambers. to Judge Sullivan, unredacted to be. reviewed. And then with regards to the. Federal Register, that redaction log, there's going to be the requirement that. a declaration be done about the status. of it, who's done it, who's been. reviewing it, what's been going on. because Judge Sullivan wants wants the. DOJ to have to own the representations. made on the record today. And he told. us, my side, to be able to prepare these. proposed orders and this issue about the. declaration in 10 days. And then this is.

a really important. >> And then regarding Judge Sullivan's. threat against the Trump regime, I will. hold you in contempt. I'm not afraid of. you. This is what Katie Fang said went. down. Let's play it. >> I had raised the issue of having Todd. Blanche held in contempt of court. The judge took a long time to explain an. anecdote about how he, years ago, held three DOJ four DOJ prosecutors in. contempt of court, in civil contempt, because they refused to turn over.

documents to a criminal defendant. Once he held these federal prosecutors. in contempt of court, he purged the. contempt once they turned over the. documents. Three out of those four. federal prosecutors appealed that order. of contempt and the Federal Appeals. Court upheld Judge Sullivan's finding of. contempt. Judge Sullivan said, "I am the. only federal judge who has held DOJ. attorneys in civil contempt. I have no. desire to do it again, but because. contempt is serious." But he said this,

"But I will do it. That's not a threat. That's a promise." He then went on to. say as, "I am not focused on contempt. I. am focused on compliance with court. orders. I understand how difficult your. job is. No one ever has enough time, but. you've never asked me for more time.". And he goes, "Look, we don't have to do. a conversation. I'm just talking about. this. You don't have to respond." This. was so important because he made it very. clear to these DOJ attorneys that he's a.

willing and able to do it. He doesn't. want to hold them in contempt, but he's. done it before and he'll do it again. And that's a really important lesson to. impart to these young lawyers that. showed up. Although again, I'm not quite. sure if it was an intentional thing to. bring these lawyers in at the last. minute that didn't have answers that the. judge demanded. I know it was frustrating. I heard that. We pretty much crashed the dial-in. system for the court today. So a lot of. you weren't able to get this. I'll do a. little bit more of a deeper analysis.

tomorrow. Um but I just wanted to make. sure that I got this read out to you. immediately so that you had this. information.
