Torrez alleges that the Justice Department is obstructing New Mexico's criminal probe into alleged crimes at Epstein's former Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County. The Attorney General's office claims the Justice Department has ignored at least 10 requests for these critical documents, which are referenced thousands of times in the Epstein files. Torrez stated that the delay is "actively hurting" the state's criminal investigation and impeding justice for Epstein survivors. New Mexico's investigation into Zorro Ranch began in February, aiming to identify victims, witnesses, and the full scope of Epstein's alleged crimes in the state.
