DoJ appears to ignore New Mexico deadline for key Epstein ranch files

“It appears that the administration has been really focused on the management of communications around the Epstein case, rather than acting in a way that demonstrates a commitment to getting to the truth and getting to accountability,” said Torrez. 

Especially frustrating, he told MS Now, was the conduct of the SDNY after the first, Balderas-ordered investigation was shelved. Torrez said: “We stood down that investigation at the explicit request of the southern district of New York, and so to have them fail to honor their agreement and then not give us access to this file is extremely unusual, and it’s complicating our ability to advance this criminal investigation.” 

Blanche “has the authority right now, with the stroke of a pen, to grant us this access, to let us, our investigators and prosecutors, come and take a look at the files, identify co-conspirators, witnesses, corroborating evidence, identify new potential leads,” Torrez added.
