LIVE: Katie Phang Gives UPDATES on BREAKING NEWS - 9/22/2026

Today on Sidebar with Katie Phang, Katie breaks down the Survivors’ Rights Restitution Act with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, who explains how the new bill would provide financial relief to Epstein survivors and other survivors of sexual violence. They also discuss the highly concerning rise in cases of Black people found hanged across the U.S. and how these cases connect to the legacy of lynching and the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. Katie also details Trump’s disastrous week, including his speech at the UN General Assembly, the cancellation of Obamacare policies affecting roughly 750,000 people, and a new poll showing his approval rating at a career-low 32%. Plus, Katie unpacks the latest legal developments in her lawsuit against AG Todd Blanche over the Epstein Files, updates on the Press Ban case, and the criminal charges filed in Massachusetts against influencer Clavicular.
