New Mexico alleges the Trump DOJ and attorney Todd Blanche stonewalled a state investigation into Epstein's property. The state is suing for access to sealed Epstein files.
New Mexico is suing Trump's Department of Justice and attorney Todd Blanche, alleging they stonewalled a state-level investigation into Epstein's property known as Zorro Ranch. The state is demanding access to sealed Epstein files that could shed light on activities at the property. Blanche, Trump's former lawyer, is now effectively in a position to block investigations into one of Trump's former associates.
This is a direct conflict of interest. Blanche represented Trump through legal battles and now holds an official position in Trump's DOJ while being named in a lawsuit for blocking an investigation. The state investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch is being obstructed by the federal government, which is unusual—normally state investigations proceed unless there's a compelling federal reason to hold back sealed files. The question is whether the obstruction is about protecting evidence or protecting people connected to Trump.
