Epstein's Zorro Ranch Ep The Epstein Files: Is the U.S. Department of Justice obstructing the investigation?

The state attorney's office in New Mexico has resumed investigations into the sexual abuse case of Jeffrey Epstein and his network. The attorney general of New Mexico accuses the U.S. Department of Justice of hindering these investigations by refusing to release unredacted documents. The Zorro Ranch, owned by Epstein and located in New Mexico, is suspected to have been a site of sexual abuse and human trafficking. The unredacted records include the name of the current U.S. president, though it is unclear if this applies to the ranch. State Attorney Raul Torrez is seeking court action to obtain the documents, calling them crucial for ongoing investigations. The U.S. Department of Justice previously dismissed the allegations as false, arguing that releasing the documents would violate laws. Critics argue that the DOJ has already disclosed personal information of victims, making their claim of protecting identities baseless.
