Deadline for the DOJ with Anne P. Mitchell
The deadline has come for the Justice Department to release more files related to Jeffrey Epstein, after a federal judge concluded that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This ruling came as a result of a lawsuit brought by Katie Phang, a lawyer and political commentator, and on this week’s show, Jena and Elise are joined by lawyer Anne P. Mitchell to explain the 44-page order from the judge, and what comes next in the push for more transparency and accountability.

Attorney and Law Professor Emeritus
Anne P. Mitchell is an attorney, and law professor and dean emeritus. A graduate of Stanford Law School, she has had a a storied career first as one of the first two attorneys in the United States advocating for children to have an ongoing relationship with their fathers after the disuniting of the family, and then as the first anti-spam lawyer in the U.S., and going on to write part of our Federal anti-spam law.
In January of 2025 she started battling the misinformation on social media around the actions of this administration, and has made it her mission to share, in plain English, the facts and the truth about this administration's legal shenanigans with her more than 400,000 followers on social media.
This led to her founding the Substack publication Notes from the Front, where as a lawyer journalist she reports from the front lines of the legal battle for the soul of our democracy, dispelling myths and misinformation, and shining a light on the truth.
She is also very involved with the legal aspects of the Jeffrey Epstein matter, and is currently working with The Projects, which has developed a powerful search engine, TESS, which connects all of the dots between Epstein, his co-conspirators, their hidden financial transactions, their shell companies, and more.
