Truth Commission Launched to Probe Epstein's Zorro Ranch
New Mexico approved a four-member bipartisan truth commission with subpoena power and a $2 million budget (through 2026) to investigate sexual-abuse allegations at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe. The panel’s funding comes from a Deutsche Bank settlement tied to failures to identify underage trafficking. The move follows the DOJ's release of Epstein documents; officials say the commission will compile the full story via testimony and records, noting past state investigations were paused in deference to federal prosecutors.
