Summary
The DOJ and Blanche have not been accused of involvement in Epstein’s crimes. But without help from the Justice Department, Torrez said New Mexico’s investigation may be limited. Torrez said his office made 10 separate requests for information but received either no response or denials. “We have heard repeatedly they will cooperate and what our team has experienced is anything but cooperation,” Torrez said during a video conference with reporters.
Furthermore, New Mexico officials have blamed federal prosecutors, who in 2019 directed the state to pause an initial criminal investigation into Epstein and share its findings with the federal government, whose lawyers believed they could build a stronger case. Blocking Epstein investigation The lawsuit alleges that the DOJ’s actions have “actively harmed victims and undermined the public interest” by restricting New Mexico’s ability to investigate allegations linked to Epstein’s former ranch in the state. The revelation that the property had gone largely ignored prompted Torrez to reopen his agency’s case against Epstein earlier this year, and it led New Mexico lawmakers to establish a bipartisan “truth commission,” equipped with subpoena power, which has also been looking into Zorro Ranch.
