Katie Phang

As serious questions about Trump's physical and mental fitness abound... ...two weeks ago, I warned about a JD Vance presidency, courtesy of the 25th Amendment.

RT @RoKhanna: .@KatiePhang brought a historic lawsuit to stand up for survivors and for the release of all Epstein files as @massie and my…

AMAZING! Journalist Katie Phang is suing the Trump DOJ over violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She is seeking a SPECIAL MASTER as well as 100% Disclosure.

NEWS: MeidasTouch host and legal analyst Katie Phang has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice, accusing it of “brazen” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The suit says the DOJ missed deadlines, over-redacted documents, and withheld key records tied to Jeffrey Epstein—including references to Donald Trump. Phang is asking the court to order full disclosure, remove unlawful redactions, and appoint a special master to oversee compliance—arguing the DOJ’s actions undermine transparency and the public’s right to know.

I’m joining @KatiePhang Joy Reid and @WajahatAli at 10a ET to offer our thoughts on Trump’s “revenge” speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Live on Substack, YouTube and here on X. See you soon.

Phang: In one of those “you only believe it if you read it” moments, Politico is reporting that there are some Republicans on the House Oversight Committee who support the idea of convicted felon Donald Trump giving clemency—a pardon—to Ghislaine Maxwell, she herself a convicted felon. Convictions of child sex abuse, child pedophilia, child trafficking—you name it. The fact that that is even being considered by House Oversight Republicans should disgust you.

The recent report about FBI Director Kash Patel is raising serious concerns—and the responses are just as telling. Journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick spoke to more than two dozen sources across government, law enforcement, and political circles. They described Patel’s leadership as a “management failure” and a potential national security risk. When presented with detailed questions, the White House and DOJ didn’t deny the allegations, but rather deflected. The only direct response came from Patel himself: “Print it, all false, I’ll see you in court—bring your checkbook.” That speaks volumes.

MeidasTouch Network host Katie Phang testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the proposed merger of Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros.: "Democracy cannot survive if powerful people get to decide which facts are allowed to exist and what version of the truth they want to peddle for profit." Go Katie! 🔥

>>@KatiePhang: “Trump has given clemency to more than 70 people that have been convicted of fraud.” “Because of Trump's clemency efforts to pardon and commute all of these people that have been convicted of fraud, that have been convicted of crimes, that have fleeced Americans — there is more than $700 million in restitution and fines that are now poof, gone.”

🚨 Pam Bondi gets BAD NEWS that is CAREER ENDING @KatiePhang

Had a great time with @KatiePhang talking about some very ugly bills passed in FL and how we get out of this mess in the next election by finally restoring balance and moderation to FL government! @davidjollyfl youtu.be/KquUqZwGGkQ?si…

I talked with @KatiePhang about the war on #highered & how we can inspire young people to defend democracy by participating in it. @wesleyan_u @aacu @Campus_Compact @MeidasTouch @ACEducation @AAUP @TheFIREorg @MollyJongFast @nytopinion youtu.be/FpdIxrh4OFE?si… via @YouTube

Phang: I think they do have buyer’s remorse. I think they understand that they gave him such wide berth that he has now said, “Thank you for the inch—I’m going to take 100 miles.” And now they’re trying to reel him back in, as we’ve seen through a series of decisions that have come out of SCOTUS. But they haven’t done us any favors.

Blanche is the Deputy AG so it makes sense that he would serve as Interim AG

WOW: Huge congrats to @KatiePhang on hitting 550K YouTube subscribers! Smart, fearless analysis that cuts through the noise. People are paying attention for a reason! On to the next milestone!

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Five members of the Proud Boys are suing for unspecified compensatory damages, plus $100 million in punitive damages. I mean, that is just a snapshot of the type of bullshit litigation that is happening right now.

Phang: Zuckerberg was forced to testify. And during that testimony, he basically said, “We do a really good job of maintaining a strong safety record on Instagram.’” He also said, “We think it’s terrible, but it’s hard to keep young people off these apps.” But here’s what really did in Meta and Google: the disclosure of internal documents from these companies, which were presented as evidence during the trial. The jury heard the following—and when you hear this, you’ll understand.

@MacFarlaneNews @MeidasTouch Welcome to the team!!

ALERT: Professional news. Nine days after leaving CBS, I have found a new professional home: Chief Washington Correspondent and Anchor for @MeidasTouch

If a candidate for office won’t commit to accountability hearings from Day One, don’t vote for them.

By covering up the Epstein files, Donald Trump and his DOJ are breaking the law every day, and Congress isn’t doing anything to stop it, legal expert @KatiePhang tells @mehdirhasan “They're getting their freak on, but, like, in illegal ways.”

“If [Trump] doesn’t go in 2028, he’s not going. Ever.” @mehdirhasan is joined by trial lawyer and independent journalist @KatiePhang to discuss the “third term” Trump keeps bringing up.
