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 Ral 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.
Exxon Lawyer's Appointment at DOJ Shows Big Oil's Capture of Government Now Complete'
WASHINGTON, D.C. " Trump's Department of Justice is appointing Robert Levy, a senior attorney at Exxon Mobil, to lead the DOJ's newly-renamed Energy and Natural Resources Division.
The Trump administration hit four New York Times journalists with subpoenas on Friday, after the outlet published a story outlining risks involving President Trump's Qatar-gifted Air Force One plane that recently entered into service.
The Times reported that the refurbished jet lacked some of the advanced security measures of the older aircraft used to transport the president.
"Torrez's office requested records from the Justice Department more than 130 days ago, he wrote in a Thursday letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. But "access to the requested records has not been granted" and "no substantive response has been provided," he wrote.
His office "views this length of time as an unreasonable delay under any rule of reason," Torrez added.
The records in the Justice Department's possession include "the names of survivors, witnesses, co-conspirators and other individuals whose identities are essential" to the state's investigation into Zorro Ranch, according to Torrez."

"Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025, was pictured at Zorro Ranch, and other survivors of his abuse, including Annie Farmer, have described the abuse they experienced under Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell at the property.
"Heavily redacted open-source records already establish that multiple survivors were brought to Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, on numerous occasions, where they were subjected to sexual abuse and exploitation," Torrez wrote to Blanche.
"Survivors of serious criminal conduct at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico are being denied justice," he wrote.
"That harm is a direct consequence of the [Justice Department's continued failure to comply with [New Mexico's] outstanding records request."
