Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered the Trump Justice Department to release and unredact additional Epstein Files pages in a lawsuit brought by journalist Katie Phang, ruling that the DOJ violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The decision compels greater disclosure of documents the Trump administration had resisted releasing. This establishes judicial precedent that courts can enforce the transparency law against executive branch resistance, though the actual scope and timeline of document release remains subject to DOJ compliance.
