Katie Fang: 'The Law Doesn't Have a Trust Me, Bro Exception'
At 18:27 · chapter starts 15:15
Katie Fang takes the floor and she is not pulling punches. Blanche argued that the handwritten interview notes about Donald Trump's alleged sexual and physical abuse are substantially similar to the official 302 forms, so the court should just trust him that they don't need to be produced separately. Fang's response is clinical and withering: she doesn't trust him, the judge doesn't have to trust him, and — most critically — the law doesn't offer a 'trust me, bro' exception to document production requirements. She also rebuts Blanche's claim that the judge's production order was designed to expose victim identities, making clear she has always fought to protect survivors. The segment ends with a declaration of intent: she is preparing a motion to enforce and, when the legal process allows, will pursue contempt — including criminal contempt.
At a May 2026 Senate hearing, Blanche promised to meet with Epstein survivors. Senators Murray and Van Hollen provided the contacts, followed up repeatedly — and got nothing. Their letter to Blanche before his confirmation hearing reveals a White House more focused on protecting Trump's reputation than delivering justice.
At a May 19, 2026 Senate hearing, Blanche promised to meet with Epstein survivors. Since then, senators and survivors have been ignored despite repeated follow-ups.
Todd Blanche told Judge Sullivan the handwritten interview notes about Trump's alleged sexual abuse are 'substantially similar' to official reports — so trust him, they don't need to produce them. Katie Fang's answer: the law has no 'trust me, bro' exception, and she doesn't trust him.
Epstein survivors released a video ahead of Blanche's Attorney General confirmation hearing: their names were exposed, nude images were released, their families were endangered — and Blanche says there are no investigative leads from 1,200 victims, 30 years of crimes, and 6 million files. They have one ask: vote no.
