Todd Blanche stares 'down the barrel' as Jeffrey Epstein-case judge urged to 'start threatening jail' if DOJ doesn't release files Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Justice Department face an imminent threat of contempt of court over their failure to release records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act fully. A legal analysis by attorney Michael Popok on the "Legal AF" podcast highlights that the Department of Justice is "staring down the barrel" of federal sanctions. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan is being urged to issue a formal contempt finding and begin threatening jail time if the agency continues to resist transparency. The legal battle stems from a lawsuit filed by journalist and attorney Katie Phang against Blanche. Phang alleges the DOJ has improperly redacted and withheld critical records related to deceased child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. The friction between Judge Sullivan and the DOJ centers on several specific failures. The DOJ is refusing to turn over handwritten FBI agent notes regarding a woman who alleges President Donald Trump sexually abused her at age 13. Donald Trump Faces Child Sexual Assault Allegations Trump was accused in a 2016 civil lawsuit of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in 1994 at a gathering associated with Epstein. Still, the plaintiff voluntarily dropped the lawsuit later that year before it went to trial, allegedly due to death threats against her and her family, and Trump has categorically denied all allegations. A woman filing under the pseudonym "Jane Doe" (sometimes referred to in public commentary as Katie Johnson) filed and then refiled a civil lawsuit in 2016 alleging that Trump and Epstein abused her in New York when she was 13 years old. https://www.msn.com/en-us/crime/general/todd-blanche-stares-down-the-barrel-as-jeffrey-epstein-case-judge-urged-to-start-threatening-jail-if-doj-doesn-t-release-files/ar-AA2bisB8?ocid=msedgntp&pc=EDBBAN&cvid=3816ca2e9e134316fe8662dd81de3166&ei=51
