Americas3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported24m ago
The State of New Mexico has filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Justice and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The legal action alleges that the federal government actively blocked the state's investigation into the sex crimes of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein at a ranch located in New Mexico.
According to the state's attorney general, the Department of Justice impeded the ongoing state probe by withholding key unredacted documents necessary for the investigation. The lawsuit was formally filed on Wednesday in response to these federal roadblocks.
