New Mexico takes DOJ to court to force Epstein files disclosure

TL;DR Summary
New Mexico filed a federal lawsuit seeking unredacted Epstein investigative records tied to the Zorro Ranch probe, arguing the DOJ unlawfully withholds materials that could identify victims and witnesses and reveal additional criminal conduct. The state says the delay hampers its investigation and survivors’ justice, while the DOJ maintains privacy protections and court orders block disclosure; a judge will decide whether the records must be released or reconsidered under agency rules.
