New Mexico Investigators Still Waiting for Epstein Records (7/13/26)

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez is accusing the U.S. Department of Justice of obstructing his office’s renewed criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch by withholding unredacted federal records. Torrez said more than 130 days had passed since New Mexico first requested the material, despite six separate attempts to obtain assistance from federal officials. His office reopened the investigation in February 2026 after newly released records indicated that multiple survivors had allegedly been taken to the ranch and sexually abused there. Torrez argues that the unredacted files could identify survivors, witnesses, suspected co-conspirators and other people necessary for investigators to determine what happened at the property and whether prosecutable crimes remain.

The dispute is especially significant because New Mexico previously suspended its investigation in 2019 after federal prosecutors asked the state to stand down while they pursued their case against Epstein. Epstein died in federal custody before that prosecution could be completed, leaving the alleged crimes at Zorro Ranch without a full accounting. Torrez warned that the continued delay is damaging the investigation as witnesses become harder to locate and evidence deteriorates or becomes more difficult to authenticate. The Justice Department disputes that it has stonewalled New Mexico and says it responded to the state’s requests and is prepared to assist, but Torrez has threatened to treat the request as formally denied at the end of July and potentially seek the records through a state court subpoena.
