US EditionComer: Trump’s first DOJ asked officials to end earlier probe of Epstein ranch in 2019
The Trump DOJ halted a 2019 probe into Epstein's 7,500-acre New Mexico ranch, delaying justice for survivors until a reopened state investigation led to a recent search.
- This week, Comer said the DOJ told New Mexico to halt a 2019 Epstein ranch investigation as authorities searched the property again.
- The New Mexico Department of Justice reopened a criminal investigation announced in February, while a Truth Commission created by the New Mexico House of Representatives will review past probes and establish a public record.
- The vast 7,500-acre-plus estate, long known as Zorro Ranch and now San Rafael Ranch, has seen cooperation from current owners and staff, with authorities urging the public to stay away and ground drones.
- For survivors, the reopening offers a glimmer of hope as state prosecutors say prosecutable evidence will be referred to the New Mexico DOJ while older allegations could be examined by the Truth Commission.
- Comer said federal officials under the Trump administration asked New Mexico to stand down in 2019 and suggested the Southern District of New York may have taken control, while Romero said state investigators were 'effectively blocked' or told to 'stand down'.
