In breaking news, Katie Phang's lawyers just caught the DOJ and Todd Blanche lying to a federal judge about the Epstein Files again, and particularly about continuing to hide dozens of pages of handwritten FBI interview notes about a victim who claims Trump assaulted her when she was 13, and trying to pass of a cover letter as a detailed log of each of the 200,000 pages of withheld documents and the reason for them being withheld. Popok reports on the bad things that are coming for Blanche as the Judge is in a position to appoint a special master to review ALL of the documents, produced and unproduced, and take the DOJ out of the equation.

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy discuss: Donald Trump's bizarre move to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” as his attacks on Canada escalate and his regime desperately tries to distract from the economy, the Iran war, and depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles. The brothers break down Trump praising U.S. adversaries while attacking America's longtime allies, and the collapse of his much-hyped “Economic D-Day” threats against Iran. They also react to Speaker Mike Johnson's panicked warning about Republicans losing the midterms and what his comments reveal about the stakes of the election. Plus, Trump's latest Kennedy Center scheme, growing questions about America's military readiness, and much more on the brother show.

Trump couldn't care less about social media preying on children through targeting algorithms and campaigns, as the Tech Bros thought they bought a president. But that hasn't stopped the Democratic Attorneys General from bringing Meta/Facebook/Instagram to its knees during trial and forcing a $18 billion settlement that includes major changes to Meta's business model and gets them out of the children-targeting market. Popok reports on the settlement announced during the trial that was not going well for Facebook, as Mark Zuckerberg was due up to testify.

The Justice Department moved to appeal Judge Emmet Sullivan's rulings in Katie Phang's lawsuit over compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, escalating a fight that had already produced unusually sharp criticism of the government's handling of the records. Sullivan had granted Phang a preliminary injunction in June 2026 after concluding that the government had failed to meaningfully answer key portions of her argument and had effectively conceded important points concerning compliance with the law. His orders required the DOJ to address disputed redactions, review and produce certain foreign-language material, provide information concerning underlying FBI interview records, and publish the redaction log required by the statute. Sullivan later ordered the government to provide unredacted records for his own private review so he could determine whether the DOJ's stated reasons for withholding names and information were legitimate.On August 24, 2026, the DOJ filed a protective notice of appeal, signaling that it intended to challenge Sullivan's order rather than simply accept the court's interpretation of what the Epstein transparency law required. The department maintained that at least some of the disputed redactions were necessary to protect victims, private individuals and other sensitive information, while Phang's case argued that the government had withheld or obscured information beyond what Congress permitted when it ordered the Epstein records released. The appeal therefore set up a larger fight over how much discretion the Justice Department actually retained after Congress enacted a law specifically designed to force broad disclosure of its Epstein material. Instead of resolving the transparency dispute, the government's decision to appeal ensured that the battle would move higher into the federal courts, with the central question becoming whether Sullivan had gone too far in compelling disclosure or whether the DOJ itself had failed to carry out the disclosure mandate Congress imposed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In breaking news, Judge Sullivan has ordered that Todd Blanche and his DOJ tell him by next week, whether they are engaged in a massive coverup about handwritten FBI interview notes of a victim who claims Trump abused her at the age of 13. Popok reports on the new filing by Katie Phang's lawyers in the Epstein files case, which alerts the Court that Blanche's lawyer did not tell the truth about the missing handwritten notes and that they have produced handwritten notes about EPSTEIN (but not Trump) in the past!

Today we celebrate the life of Nolan Wells on what would have been his 19th birthday. The National Action Network held a virtual prayer vigil today and a separate celebration of his life will be held tonight at 7pm in Biloxi. Also, journalist, lawyer, and friend of the show Katie Phang has been successfully suing the DOJ to release more Epstein files. She joins us to discuss this process.

A federal judge sharply warned the Justice Department that it could face contempt proceedings or other penalties if it continued failing to comply with court orders requiring the release of additional Jeffrey Epstein records. During an August 13 hearing, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan pressed DOJ attorneys over outstanding documents, redaction logs and FBI materials that he had previously ordered the government to produce. When a Justice Department lawyer said he could not provide a firm date for compliance and appeared to seek another explicit directive from the court, Sullivan responded that he had already issued clear orders and questioned whether he needed to issue yet another one simply to emphasize that he meant what he had already said. Sullivan recalled previously holding Justice Department lawyers in contempt in another case and made clear that similar consequences were possible here, telling the government that his warning was not merely a threat but a promise.The confrontation grew out of journalist Katie Phang's lawsuit challenging the DOJ's handling of records covered by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Sullivan had previously ordered the department to release additional unredacted material or justify why certain information could legally remain withheld, but questions remained about whether the government had fully complied and whether some documents and handwritten investigative notes had been omitted. Phang's attorneys argued that the Justice Department was already multiple court orders behind and urged the judge to consider sanctions. The hearing therefore marked a significant escalation in the legal fight over the Epstein disclosures, with Sullivan signaling that continued delay or noncompliance could move the dispute beyond stern warnings and into actual judicial punishment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Judge promises DOJ lawyers penalties if they don't comply on Epstein

On this Episode of LegalAF, Ben Meiselas goes solo as Popok finishes up his summer vacation and Meiselas does a deep dive in Trump and his family running away and hiding from the legal hell they put themselves into yet again. Meiselas discusses how Trump and kids and son-in-law Jared Kushner are literally hiding and trying to duck subpoenas from the BBC for their depositions in connection with Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC. Meiselas details Trump's DOJ running away from Katie Phang's federal lawsuit under the Epstein Transparency Act. Meiselas also details Trump's contrived “emergency” motions and petitions, including his petition to the Supreme Court begging to continue the construction of the White House golden ballroom as he argues he desperately needs so he can hide from assassination attempts including his fears the Iranians want to go after him with drones and ballistic missiles. Meiselas also connects Trump's cowardly and losing legal behavior with his conduct more broadly in domestic and international affairs.

His argument on precedent is the interesting part. Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton, which he reads as settling the question of whether presidential family members and former first ladies can be called. He says there is no question they want to talk to her, and that if she wants justice for survivors she should work with them. That reading rests on her own April statement, delivered from a White House podium, reportedly without clearing it with the president or his staff, calling on Congress to act. Hawk's point is that House Democrats noticed, and that the position she took is the opposite of what nearly every Republican and every member of the cabinet has said. Todd Blanche's expansion of executive privilege would not reach this.

Judge Emmet Sullivan held a hearing in the case in which independent journalist Katie Phang sued Attorney General Todd Blanche for violating the Epstein files transparency act, thereby violating her First Amendment freedom of the press rights. Glenn attended the court hearing in DC and did a live report from outside DC federal district court. He was joined by Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News for a discussion of what happened during the court hearing. The top line from the hearing: Judge Sullivan lectured the DOJ attorneys for a full 20 minutes about how he will hold them in contempt of court if need be, saying repeatedly, "That's not a threat, it's a promise."
