Epstein Probe Shut Down by Federal Request | Santa Fe News
Description
Former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas reveals his office’s 2019 investigation into Jeffrey Epstein was shut down not by lack of evidence, but because federal prosecutors in New York demanded it — with a promise to share critical state-specific findings that never came. Balderas, now pushing for transparency, sent letters to the current AG and a truth commission, detailing how his team actively collaborated with survivors’ legal teams and gathered witness testimony — all halted when federal prosecutors abruptly asked New Mexico to stop, in exchange for cooperation that never materialized. His account bolsters New Mexico’s current legal push to obtain unredacted Epstein files, exposing a troubling pattern of federal agencies sidelining state efforts — and highlighting how New Mexico’s proactive role was abandoned without reciprocity.
