DOJ Rejects New Mexico's Request for Full Epstein Records

The DOJ denied New Mexico's request for unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files on July 15, 2026, citing federal law, court orders, and victim privacy. State AG Raul Torrez called it a "deliberate choice not to cooperate" after five months seeking records for its sex-trafficking probe into Epstein's Zorro Ranch. The Trump administration had promised full Epstein document transparency.
