“Responding to public demands for information, Congress with near unanimity passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act (the ‘Epstein Act’), which President Trump signed into law on November 19, 2025. The Epstein Act is an unprecedented disclosure law requiring the Attorney General, with few exceptions, to make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable database all unclassified Department of Justice (‘Department’) files related to its investigation of the notorious sexual predator and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, and their associates. The Epstein Act required extremely timely compliance: the Attorney General was required to make the information publicly available by December 9, 2025. The Attorney General made productions on December 19, 20, 22, and 23, 2025, and January 30, 2026.”

“Following the production of approximately 3.5 million pages of documents, the Attorney General announced that the Department had complied with its production obligations under the Epstein Act on January 30, 2026. Katie Phang (‘Ms Phang’) brings this action against Todd Blanche in his official capacity as Acting Attorney General of the United States (the ‘Attorney General’), claiming that he has improperly withheld information and failed to comply with other requirements in violation of the Epstein Act. Pending before the Court is Ms Phang’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction in which she seeks relief for a limited list of violations of the Epstein Act. Upon careful consideration of Ms Phang’s motion, the Attorney General’s opposition, the reply, the applicable law; and for the reasons discussed below, the Court GRANTS Ms Phang’s motion,” wrote DC federal Judge Emmett Sullivan in a ruling on Thursday, putting on the record Dirty Todd’s statute violations.
