The feds told New Mexico to stop their investigation into Epstein's ranch in 19.
Federal prosecutors in 2019 asked New Mexico officials to halt their investigation into sex trafficking activities at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch, agreeing to share information that potentially could have led to criminal charges here.
New Mexico lived up to its end of the agreement, ending its investigation and providing police reports, recorded witness interviews and other investigative records to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, former Attorney General Hector Balderas said last week.
...
Balderas, who served as attorney general from 2014 to 2022, said he is unaware that federal investigators provided any information to New Mexico officials that could have led to criminal prosecutions here.
Cooperation between the two agencies "was a one-way relationship," he said.
Records released in January by the U.S. Department of Justice related to the Epstein investigation, including letters and emails between Balderas' office and federal prosecutors, shed light on New Mexico's decision to scrap its investigation.
The request by federal prosecutors essentially "gutted" New Mexico's investigation into sex trafficking at Epstein's 7,500-acre Zorro Ranch located 30 miles south of Santa Fe, Balderas said. Balderas now is president of Northern New Mexico College in Española.
"We provided information to them to strengthen their prosecution," he said. Prosecutors made assurances they would provide findings to New Mexico investigators. "They were making the representation that they were going to prosecute with a multijurisdictional, multistate focus."

Not sure why Iran thinks this is going to help shift the narrative. We all know our politicians are corrupt and scurrying to the shadows..
That video of Epstein and Trump? It might be pro-Iran disinformation.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other...on/ar-AA1XTmVF“This video is not fake,” said a post on X from an account called HDX News that was viewed more than 6.8 million times. “These pedophile perverts started a war so that this wouldn’t be talked about.”
The video is indeed fake, disinformation researchers say. And the account is part of a pro-Iran propaganda network that has found viral success by tapping into the conspiracy theory that Trump attacked Iran to distract the public from the Epstein files.Comment

So the previous Trump admin had New Mexico shut down their investigation into Epstein's ranch. Not sus at all.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2936146.htmlRep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, has claimed that the Department of Justice intervened to block a state investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch in 2019.
The Kentucky Republican appeared on Jesse Watters’ Fox News show Tuesday, a day after a new search of the property was commenced, when he made the claim about the failings of the authorities to catch up with Epstein during President Donald Trump’s first term, when then-attorney general Bill Barr was leading the DOJ.
