New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to force the Department of Justice to turn over unredacted Epstein files he says are necessary to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged crimes at the Zorro Ranch property that was formerly owned by the convicted sex offender.
Accusing the Department of Justice of “obstruction,” the lawsuit said that Torrez’s office has asked the DOJ for the records ten times since their investigation launched earlier this year, but have not received the necessary documents.
“USDOJ and Acting Attorney General [Todd] Blanche are refusing to facilitate the investigation of state law crimes by hiding information about Epstein and his co-conspirators from Attorney General Torrez and state law enforcement, when New Mexico is one of few jurisdictions that still may have an opportunity to hold Epstein’s associates accountable or otherwise provide some sense of justice to survivors,” the complaint said.
Filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., the lawsuit asked a judge to declare the Department of Justice’s unwillingness to turn over all the records unlawful and force the turnover of the records. Torrez’ office is seeking “complete and unredacted access to the Epstein files.”
“They have continued to tell the public and members of Congress that they are cooperating with this office when they are not, and most importantly, they continue to withhold critical information that we think is essential to delivering justice to the victims and the survivors in this case,” Torrez said in a call with reporters Tuesday afternoon.
Retired, living in the Scottish Borders after living most of my life in cities in England. I can now indulge my interest in all aspects of living close to nature in a wild landscape. I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere. That set me thinking and questioning and seeking answers.
