New Mexico Attorney General accuses US Justice Department of withholding Epstein investigation records.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez sent a letter to the Justice Department dated June 30, publicly released on July 9, accusing the federal agency of impeding a state investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch by failing to provide unredacted records for over 130 days. The state reopened its criminal probe into Epstein's New Mexico property in February 2026 after the DOJ released millions of files related to the convicted sex offender.
