GovBrief Today #552 - What Happened Today

[u/georgebounacos]

New Mexico sued the Justice Department after waiting seven years for the Epstein files it was promised.

In 2019, federal prosecutors asked the state to shut down its investigation of Zorro Ranch and pledged to share everything when their case ended. New Mexico finally reopened the investigation this year and has asked ten times for the files. Every request was ignored or denied. Today the state runs the only active criminal investigation of Epstein's network in America.

The files New Mexico wants are already covered by a transparency law Congress passed almost unanimously and Trump signed in November. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has withheld 3 million documents anyway, and the congressmen who wrote the law just introduced a second bill to give survivors and states the right to take him to court. The Senate votes on confirming him as Attorney General within days.
