New Mexico DOJ Letter: SDNY's Refusal and the Scale of Obstruction
At 5:17 · chapter starts 3:15
The letter from New Mexico's AG to Todd Blanche is formal but furious. It opens with a final demand: in-person access to the complete, unredacted DOJ investigative record on Epstein's Zoro Ranch, subject to whatever security protocols the DOJ chooses. The demand follows more than five months of correspondence — letters, calls, meetings — met with what the letter calls production 'so incomplete as to be functionally nonresponsive.' The deadline is hard: July 31, 2026, after which New Mexico will pursue all legal remedies. Meiselas underlines the brazenness of a federal DOJ that knows about the Epstein Transparency Act and still refuses to hand over evidence of what he characterizes as child sex trafficking, torture, and murder. He closes the segment by noting the SDNY's outright refusal to cooperate, calling it an open admission of a cover-up.
The SDNY called the New Mexico Department of Justice directly and told them they will not cooperate on anything related to Jeffrey Epstein, anyone connected to Epstein — including Donald Trump — or Zoro Ranch. It was a stunning, open admission of federal obstruction.
The New Mexico Department of Justice set a hard deadline of July 31, 2026 for the federal DOJ to provide access to unredacted Epstein records, after which legal remedies will be pursued.
Of over 6 million Epstein-related records identified under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ handed New Mexico 31 pages — most already public, all substantially redacted. The New Mexico AG called it functionally nonresponsive and set a July 31 deadline before filing suit.
