Court-Ordered Disclosure of FBI Notes
Attorney General Todd Blanche complied with a court order from U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to provide both redacted and unredacted handwritten FBI notes to the court for private review. The order required delivery by 11 a.m. on a Thursday, after which the documents were reportedly turned over to the court. However, the filing did not appear on the public docket, prompting the woman’s legal team to seek clarification.
Background of the Trump Abuse Allegation
The notes pertain to four FBI interviews with a woman who alleges that President Donald Trump sexually and physically abused her when she was between 13 and 15 years old. The woman’s attorneys, represented by Katie Phang, have been monitoring the case’s procedural developments and raised concerns when the expected docket entry failed to materialize.
Official Statements & Responses
Phang told reporters that her team contacted the Justice Department after noticing the absence of a docket entry. She cited an email from DOJ attorney Andrew Block, in which Block confirmed compliance with the court’s order. Phang emphasized that Judge Sullivan has not yet reviewed the contents of the submitted notes and that a determination of what was provided will follow the judge’s private review.
Verbatim Quotes
- “Nothing showed up on the docket yesterday,” — Katie Phang. Phang, attorney and journalist
- “Yes, we complied with the court’s order,” — Andrew Block, from DOJ attorney
These statements capture the core dispute: the Justice Department’s fulfillment of a judicial directive versus the lack of public documentation confirming that fulfillment. The situation remains pending further clarification from Judge Sullivan’s private review.
