Torrez’s office requested records from the Justice Department more than 130 days ago, he wrote in a Thursday letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. But “access to the requested records has not been granted” and “no substantive response has been provided,” he wrote. His office “views this length of time as an unreasonable delay under any rule of reason,” Torrez added.

New Mexico’s Department of Justice is demanding documents from the federal Justice Department for potential prosecutions in connection with Epstein’s abuse at his Zorro Ranch property

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025, was pictured at Zorro Ranch, and other survivors of his abuse, including Annie Farmer, have described the abuse they experienced under Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell at the property.

“Heavily redacted open-source records already establish that multiple survivors were brought to Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, on numerous occasions, where they were subjected to sexual abuse and exploitation,” Torrez wrote to Blanche.

Those records are “essential to substantiating survivor testimony and constructing the evidentiary foundation any prosecution requires,” he said, and the Justice Department’s withholding of the documents is causing “real and escalating harm” to the state’s investigation.
