New Mexico is suing Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Justice Department for refusing to hand over Epstein investigation files and blocking cooperation with the state's truth commission looking into trafficking at his Zorro Ranch property. A federal judge ordered Blanche to appear in court and explain why records are missing. The state is arguing that federal obstruction is preventing closure on a major criminal investigation.
The Justice Department's refusal to cooperate with a state truth commission is unusual and suggests something in those files is worth keeping buried. Truth commissions are supposed to have broad access to records. Federal obstruction of a state's investigative process raises questions about what the DOJ is protecting and why it's protecting it. Blanche being ordered to explain missing records in court is a sign the judge thinks something is seriously wrong with how this case is being handled.
