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.

"Former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, who took over the department after the resignation of Attorney General Bill Barr on December 14, 2020, testified that Trump contacted him "virtually every day" to request that the DOJ do more to "investigate election fraud," including by appointing a special counsel and pursuing Supreme Court litigation.

Trump also wanted the department to promote his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud by sending letters to six state legislatures urging them to overturn the election results.

According to the testimony of former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, Trump requested that the DOJ seize voting machines from state governments and implored the department "to say [the election] was corrupt."

Both Rosen and Donoghue further testified that Jeffrey Clark, the head of the department's energy and natural resources division who began having direct contact with the president, asked them to sign one of the letters he and another DOJ attorney, Ken Klukowski, had drafted, recommending that the Georgia legislature overturn the state's certified election results.

The letter, which former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone reportedly dismissed as a "murder-suicide pact," is the subject of a disciplinary case before the D.C. bar. (Clark is also the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation.)

Trump's campaign to involve the DOJ in his effort to overturn the election culminated in a brazen effort to replace Rosen with Clark as acting attorney general, which appears to have been foiled only when Rosen, Donoghue, and other DOJ officials met with the president at the White House and threatened to resign."
