Journalist and legal analyst Katie Phang has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice, accusing it of failing to comply with a landmark transparency law requiring the release of records related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his network.

The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, names Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche as the defendant and alleges “brazen” violations of the 2025 Epstein Files Transparency Act, a statute intended to force the public release of government-held materials tied to Epstein and his associates.

Phang’s complaint alleges a pattern of misconduct by the DOJ, including:

Missing statutory deadlines for document production
Improper or excessive redactions
Failure to explain redactions as required by law
Withholding or retracting key documents after release
