New Mexico's Attorney General Says DOJ Withheld Epstein Files 130 Days
Torrez says his office sent six formal requests since February 13 for unredacted Zorro Ranch case records.
- New Mexico is the only agency still criminally investigating Epstein's Zorro Ranch estate.
- More than 130 days have passed since the unanswered first records request.
- DOJ says it 'substantively responded last month' and welcomes New Mexico's inquiry.
Why it matters: The agency holding the evidence decides whether the prosecution can exist at all.
