KATIE PHANG

GODMOTHER OF GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY

EDUCATION

Katie Phang earned her B.A. in Political Science, with a focus on International Relations, at Yale University before pursuing her J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law.

THE WORK

She is the principal founder of her law firm, Katie S. Phang, P.A., where she works as a trial attorney and consultant in media relations and crisis management. The focus of her practice is on family law, commercial litigation, real estate litigation, and criminal defence & special investigations.

In addition to serving as an Adjunct Professor of Litigation Skills at the University of Miami School of Law, where she is also a Presidential Appointee to the Board of Directors, Katie was formerly the President of the Miami-Dade Chapter of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers.

Her current work also includes independent journalism, acting as a Legal Contributor for NBC NEWS/MSNBC, where she provides both commentary and analysis on relevant current events pertaining to legal issues across the world.

WHY SHE’S A GODMOTHER

She advocates for accountability in relation to the U.S. government, and works to keep the general public informed.

In April 2026, she filed a lawsuit against U.S. attorney general Todd Blanche over an alleged failure on the part of the justice department to publish all the documents held by the government pertaining to the Epstein Files.

The lawsuit accuses Blanche of missed deadlines regarding document procurement, withholding documents, as well as excessive redactions and a failure to explain said redactions.

As of September 2026, this lawsuit is ongoing, with multiple appeals to court ordered deadlines having been made by Blanche’s team throughout.

Phang remains steadfast in her commitment to hold the justice department, and Blanche, accountable as per the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), signed into law on November 19th, 2025.
