New Mexico Attorney General Says DOJ Is Withholding ‘Critical’ Information Related to Epstein’s Zorro Ranch
- On Thursday, New Mexico Attorney General Torrez accused the USDOJ of withholding crucial unredacted Epstein files, arguing the lack of cooperation prevents the state from bringing justice to survivors.
- New Mexico is investigating allegations of illegal activity surrounding Zorro Ranch, a property formerly owned by Jeffrey Epstein where survivors have said they were sexually assaulted.
- More than 130 days have elapsed since the New Mexico Department initial request, and Torrez outlined six unsuccessful attempts to reach the federal agency in a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
- Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin and other members of Congress criticized the DOJ's document access process, describing it as requiring travel to an annex to use "clunky and convoluted software."
- As the USDOJ delays access, officials warn that physical evidence degrades and memories fade, while The New Mexico Survivor's Truth Commission continues investigating Zorro Ranch.
