Earlier this week I reported that U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to turn over unredacted versions from some of the Epstein files that have been heavily redacted by today, Thursday, July 2, 2026. See:

As expected, the DOJ, headed by Trump’s former personal attorney, Todd Blanche, failed to comply with the order today.
DOJ Defies Judge on Epstein Files as Compliance Deadline Passes
Judge Emmet Sullivan gave the department until today to release unredacted files or explain why — and the DOJ’s answer was to file an appeal instead.
Excerpts:
WASHINGTON — The Epstein Files Transparency Act sailed through Congress 427 to 1. On Thursday, the Justice Department chose a different path.
With the compliance deadline set by a federal judge expiring today, the Trump administration announced it would appeal rather than release a set of Epstein-related documents that a court found had been improperly redacted.
The decision sets up a direct confrontation between U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, who found the department likely in violation of its own law, and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has declined to defend the department’s redaction decisions in court.
“The government ignored a law passed by Congress and then refused to defend its own conduct in court, all for the sake of protecting the rich and powerful,”
Brendan Ballou of the Public Integrity Project, who represents journalist Katie Phang, said after Sullivan’s ruling last week.
Sullivan, appointed to the bench by Ronald Reagan and a presence on the federal judiciary for nearly four decades, found that Blanche had effectively conceded the merits of Phang’s lawsuit by failing to respond substantively to the court.
“By not responding substantively, the Attorney General has conceded Ms. Phang’s merits arguments,”
the 44-page ruling stated.
What Sullivan did not do was give the department a way out.
When the DOJ asked him to pause his order so it could consider an appeal, he refused. The July 2 deadline stood.
The department’s appeal, if it clears the D.C. Circuit, could produce a stay that delays any disclosure indefinitely.
If it does not, and the department still refuses to comply, Sullivan has a tool available: a show-cause order requiring Blanche to appear before him and explain the defiance.
That would mark one of the more unusual judicial proceedings in recent memory — a sitting acting attorney general summoned to defend a decision to defy a transparency mandate his own president signed into law.
The same pressure has built inside Congress.
On Wednesday, former Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Oversight Committee, where members pressed her on which names remained hidden and why.
Bondi did not answer those questions directly.
The House Oversight Committee has separately released documents from Epstein’s estate, adding to a body of material that is simultaneously enormous — 3.5 million pages, 2,000 videos, 180,000 images — and conspicuously incomplete at its edges.
Congressman Ro Khanna, who was a co-author of the Epstein Transparency Act, along with Congressman Thomas Massey, was interviewed yesterday about the Trump Administration’s failure to obey the law and produce these documents.
He stated that the Senate should require Todd Blanche, currently the interim head of the DOJ, to comply with the law that Trump signed, before being confirmed by the Senate to lead the Department of Justice.
Chris Brennan, writing for USA Today, did not mince words on this issue in an opinion piece published yesterday:
Acting AG Blanche has a decision to make on Epstein Files
President Trump picked Todd Blanche because both men have made it plain that they see the job of attorney general as representing and defending only one American ‒ Trump.
Excerpts:
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will find himself in a triangle of trouble on Thursday.
Blanche, nominated as attorney general on June 8 by President Donald Trump, faces a deadline July 2 in federal court to publicly release a batch of secret files about Trump’s old pal, the now-dead sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Blanche must know that Trump, whom he previously represented in criminal and civil cases, doesn’t want any more Epstein files released and has called for the huge, sweeping controversy to just go away.
And Blanche must also know that Congress, which passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November with just one Republican voting against it, will be watching what he does next, as his Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing is just two weeks away.
Count on Acting AG Todd Blanche to serve Trump above all else.
Neal David Sutz announced his candidacy for U.S. President this past week. He ran as the Vice President candidate in the last U.S. national elections in 2024, with a Texas man who changed his name to “Literally Anybody Else.”
Neal has been fighting for the release of his two sons held hostage in Geneva, Switzerland, where they were medically kidnapped, for several years now.
I have known Neal since 2019 when I covered his story on MedicalKidnap.com, and have published several articles about his case. See:
The Neal Sutz Story: How Donald Trump Covered Up The Largest Child Trafficking Story in Switzerland and Arizona During His First Presidency
Neal is the most brilliant legal mind I have ever met, and gained national headlines in the late 1990s when he sued Dr. Phil and his producer at the time, Oprah Winfrey, without an attorney, and won.
He is currently an integral part of my legal team fighting back against the false “Christians” who are trying to destroy me and have been unsuccessful in trying to take over my business, Healthy Traditions.
On Neal’s campaign website, he shares a short clip of a phone call he had with someone allegedly close to President Trump who warned Neal that the White House would “take him out” if he tried to run for the Presidency of the United States. (Source.)
Yesterday, Neal released a video (see above – if it disappears from YouTube, as I fully expect it will, let us know and we will restore it) that did a deep dive into Epstein’s alleged arrest in 2019, with information that I do not believe was public before.
The days of the Epstein cartel are limited now, as they will not be able to keep all these redacted files secret for too much longer.
“So do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
What I tell you in the darkness, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:26-28)
