New Mexico Investigates Epstein's Zorro Ranch

Mexico lawmakers have unanimously passed legislation to launch the first full investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. A bipartisan 'truth commission' will seek testimony from survivors of alleged sexual abuse and local residents to uncover what happened at the property, where Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women. The investigation, which has subpoena power, aims to identify ranch guests and state officials who may have been complicit or aware of the alleged abuses. This move follows the release of millions of Epstein-related files by the United States — United States Department of Justice, which revealed ties between Jeffrey Epstein and former Mexico governors and an attorney general. The committee will begin work on Tuesday, deliver interim findings in July, and a final report by year-end. Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has assigned a special agent to probe allegations, and the investigation is funded by a $2 million settlement with financial services companies. The current owner of the ranch, Don Huffines, has pledged full cooperation.
