## Resource

Today on Sidebar with Katie Phang, Katie breaks down the latest developments in her lawsuit over the Epstein files, specifically Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s newly filed response. Her attorney, Brendan Ballou, CEO of the Public Integrity Project, joins Katie to analyze the filing, explain what it means for the case, and discuss the next steps in the fight for transparency and accountability. Katie also unpacks Trump’s latest attacks on the press, including the DOJ’s subpoena of phone records of New York Times reporters who covered safety concerns surrounding the new Air Force One, along with updates on Friday’s rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Plus, she covers Darline Graham stepping in for her late brother, Lindsey Graham, and ends with some rare good news on the fight over ICE funding.
