YIKES! Trump DOJ Just Made FATAL MOVE in EPSTEIN CASE

What was said

""Ultimately, the department will continue to comply with all applicable disclosure laws, but the department also needs to be afforded the ability to seek appellet review of preliminary injunction orders it believes to be an error. Okay? As soon as you get sanctioned, you can go take your appeal.""

MeidasTouch host Michael Popok reads from what he describes as the Department of Justice’s written response in Katie Fang’s lawsuit over the handling of disclosures under the Epstein File Transparency Act. In the segment, Popok highlights language seeking to prevent any contempt or sanctions order and to stay the effective date of Judge Emmet Sullivan’s order so DOJ can pursue appellate review.
