## Resource

As an independent journalist, Katie Phang cannot do her job reporting on the facts and evidence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and others in the Epstein Elite if she cannot access the full Epstein Files. So she’s suing Acting AG Todd Blanche to force the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Here is her explanation of why she decided to sue and what to expect, including her request for a special master.
