New Mexico sues justice department for ‘stonewalling’ Epstein investigation

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez sued the DOJ and acting attorney general Todd Blanche for stonewalling a criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch. The state seeks unredacted files after the DOJ ignored a July 31 deadline. These records are essential to investigate allegations of historical abuse and trafficking of girls at the Santa Fe estate, where victims like Virginia Giuffre claimed they were held and staffers alleged bodies were buried on the property.
