New Mexico filed suit claiming the Trump Justice Department is blocking its Epstein Zorro Ranch probe by withholding files. GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski also opposed Todd Blanche's AG nomination, citing his failure to pursue justice for Epstein survivors.
New Mexico filed suit against the Trump Justice Department, claiming it's blocking the state's investigation into Trump's Epstein property (the Zorro Ranch) by refusing to hand over federal files. Separately, Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski opposed Trump's pick for Attorney General, Todd Blanche, specifically because she felt he hadn't done enough to hold Epstein's enablers accountable.
This is a state-level justice system calling out the federal DOJ for what looks like selective protection. Murkowski's statement adds a credibility problem — she's not a Trump opponent by default, but she's signaling that Blanche's record on this issue is thin. The core issue is whether documents about Epstein's connections get released or stay buried. If the Trump DOJ actively blocks a state investigation into Trump-connected property, that's less about normal legal process and more about self-dealing.
