New Mexico Lawmakers Launch Investigation into Epstein's Zorro Ranch

The New Mexico House of Representatives has approved a bipartisan measure to establish a special committee, named the Truth Commission, to investigate criminal activities linked to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. This decision comes in response to ongoing concerns about the lack of investigations into alleged sexual abuse at the property, which has raised public safety issues. The commission will have the power to subpoena witnesses and is required to submit two reports by the end of 2026. Representative Melanie Stansbury emphasized the need for state-level action, as federal investigations have been inadequate. The committee aims to hold responsible parties accountable, including those who may have facilitated Epstein's actions.

Key Details: • The Truth Commission must submit its first report by July 31, 2026. • A second report is due to all House members by December 31, 2026. • The commission has the authority to subpoena witnesses and documents. • Investigations will focus on both state and private lands associated with the ranch.
