New Mexico lawmakers announce their first step in an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities at his Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe. A bipartisan special committee created to examine Epstein’s conduct in the state and determine whether other people should face prosecution issues subpoenas as an initial document request. According to reports, the New Mexico Truth Commission plans to send subpoenas to 14 entities, including government agencies and private institutions involved in relevant investigations or oversight. The subpoenas are intended to obtain records and information that lawmakers believe are necessary to reconstruct events in New Mexico and assess what happened there. Officials say the request covers both inquiries connected to Epstein himself and the broader systems that may have had knowledge of or involvement with his actions. The committee frames the subpoena effort as a way to “tell the full story” of Epstein’s conduct in New Mexico and to evaluate potential criminal accountability beyond Epstein.
