New Mexico officials are accusing Donald Trump’s Department of Justice of obstructing access to documents connected to the federal government’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein as the state performs its own probe into the sex offender’s alleged crimes at his Zorro Ranch property.
The state’s Attorney General Raúl Torrez is demanding immediate access to files requested by his office several months ago and suggested the Justice Department is now withholding those records despite what he called “verbal assurances” from the federal government.
