Trump DOJ BACKED into CORNER over Epstein Files - Legal AF



Donald Trump's DOJ blew the Epstein files deadline for nearly a month with no end in sight. Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) asked a federal judge to appoint a special master to take it out of the government's hands. A federal judge in New York just asked the government to respond.

So is transparency just around the corner? Not so fast. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News and Florida law man Dave Aronberg explain why this legal fight is a longshot — but still probably a step in the right direction. - 01/18/2026.
