New Mexico sues justice department for ‘stonewalling’ Epstein investigation "New Mexico filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Justice and the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, on Wednesday for “stonewalling” its criminal investigation into the activities of the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein at a remote ranch in the state. Raúl Torrez, the New Mexico attorney general, had said he was mulling the possibility of legal action if the justice department did not share with him by 31 July information about the alleged historical abuse of girls and young women at Epstein’s Zorro ranch about 30 miles south of Santa Fe. Wednesday’s filing, seen by the Guardian, delivers on that threat after the justice department appeared to ignore last Friday’s deadline." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/05/new-mexico-sues-doj-epstein-investigation #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Law #USPol #News #EpsteinFiles #NoKings #HumanRights #Activism
