Trump DOJ Just Blew Another Epstein Deadline...
Summary
Michael Popak analyzes the Department of Justice’s flawed response to Katie Fang’s Epstein files lawsuit, arguing it violates federal rules by denying known facts and attacking the plaintiff politically. The episode highlights the DOJ’s failure to produce 37 pages of FBI notes regarding Trump and its repeated missed deadlines, including a recent order to release foreign-language documents. Popak contends the answer should be stricken from the record and discusses the potential for sanctions against the government for contempt of court.
