https://x.com/sayerjigmi/status/2028156230645018849 BREAKING: Former New Mexico AG Hector Balderas reveals federal prosecutors asked his office to HALT its investigation into sex trafficking at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in 2019 — promising to share information in return.
They never did.
"Cooperation was a one-way relationship."
New Mexico handed over police reports, witness interviews & investigative records to the Southern District of New York. In return? Silence.
Balderas urged feds to SEIZE Zorro Ranch in 2020 to preserve criminal evidence — files, video recordings. No response.
None of NM's investigative records appear among the 3M+ pages DOJ released last month.
The investigation was "gutted" just weeks before Epstein died in custody.
Now NM AG Raúl Torrez is reopening the probe and a legislative truth-finding commission with subpoena power has been formed.
The investigation should have been BROADENED, not narrowed.
Who was being protected?
