Former New Mexico Attorney General Says He Was Sidelined by Feds From Probe Into Epstein’s Ranch
The commission seeks records on possible missed prosecutions and internal communications, with about 23 subpoenas issued and an interim report due by the end of July.
- On Thursday, the Epstein Truth Commission subpoenaed U.S. Attorneys' offices in Florida, South Carolina, Michigan, and the Virgin Islands, seeking information on whether federal officials declined to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein after investigating his activities.
- New Mexico State Representative Andrea Romero, a Democrat and chair of the investigative committee, stated the commission aims to identify officials who may have known of alleged sexual abuse and turned a blind eye.
- Bringing the total issued to around 23, the commission's requests received praise from survivor Rachel Benavidez, who said, "Increasingly, the public recognizes that protecting powerful individuals at the expense of victims is unacceptable."
- Attorney General Balderas previously reported federal officials requested he pause his 2019 investigation, claiming they had the "bigger hammer," yet failed to collaborate or adequately search Zorro Ranch.
- Everyone named in the recent subpoenas has until the end of the month to comply, as the commission prepares to publish an interim report on its findings by the end of July.
