A federal judge has cornered the Justice Department for withholding files on FBI interviews with the woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to release unredacted versions of several Jeffrey Epstein files, or explain why the DOJ should be allowed to keep them secret, as he sided with investigative journalist Katie Phang, who had accused Blanche of violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He gave the government until July 2 to comply.
So when they violate something like transparency act, are there any consequences?
There could be, but judges refuse to use all of their tools and the enforcement arms are corrupt. Start throwing department heads in jail until compliance.
I wish you all the luck you need for this endeavor, judge.
