New Mexico attorney general accuses DOJ of withholding Epstein files
New Mexico attorney general Raúl Torrez wrote a June 30 letter saying the US Department of Justice has withheld access to unredacted files tied to Jeffrey Epstein, and that the lack of cooperation is eroding the foundation for a possible state prosecution. The state reopened its criminal probe in February after the DOJ released millions of files, and searched Zorro Ranch in March; the release included an unverified 2019 email alleging graves near the property. Heavy redactions have drawn congressional criticism and an inspector general review, and some members were allowed restricted viewing of unredacted documents.
