This episode discusses sex trafficking and the abuse of minors. Please listen with care.On October 26, House Judiciary Democrats released an explosive report alleging Trump's involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking operation and a DOJ cover-up.

Apparently, the DOJ thought congressional silence was a good enough excuse to ignore federal law. In Part Four, I get into DOJ's latest excuses, Katie Phang's motion to hold Todd Blanche in contempt, and the Senate hearings where Epstein survivors testified about the department exposing their personal information. Blanche managed to find nine hours to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, but couldn't find time for survivors until his confirmation was on the line. And yes, the Senate confirmed him anyway.For bonus content, ad-free and early episodes, archived episodes, a private Discord community, and more, subscribe to @fthatpod on Patreon or hereDon't forget to check out the website!www.fthatpod.comIf you liked what you heard today, give the podcast a like, review, and subscribe.Follow F**k That on TikTok@fthatpodInstagram @fthat_podYouTube Channel: @fthatpodThank you to this week's sources:Phang v.

The Department of Justice claimed it had complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Katie Phang identified five alleged violations and asked a federal judge to intervene. In Part Three, I cover her motion for a preliminary injunction, DOJ's arguments for why she shouldn't be allowed to sue, Phang's response, and Judge Emmet Sullivan's decision to grant the injunction after DOJ failed to substantively address a single one of the five alleged violations.For bonus content, ad-free and early episodes, archived episodes, a private Discord community, and more, subscribe to @fthatpod on Patreon or hereDon't forget to check out the website!www.fthatpod.comIf you liked what you heard today, give the podcast a like, review, and subscribe.Follow F**k That on TikTok@fthatpodInstagram @fthat_podYouTube Channel: @fthatpodThank you to this week's sources:Court Documents - Phang v.

After months of promises, missed deadlines, disappearing documents, and a release that somehow exposed victims while still leaving major questions about what DOJ withheld, journalist and attorney Katie Phang sued Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche over the Epstein files.In this episode, I get into the initial lawsuit complaint, and some embarrassing audio of Todd Blanch that I'm sure he wished didn't exist.For bonus content, ad-free and early episodes, archived episodes, a private Discord community, and more, subscribe to @fthatpod on Patreon or hereDon't forget to check out the website!www.fthatpod.comIf you liked what you heard today, give the podcast a like, review, and subscribe.Follow F**k That on TikTok@fthatpodInstagram @fthat_podYouTube Channel: @fthatpodThank you to this week's sources:PHANG v.
