New Mexico Reps Push for Epstein Ranch Probe

0:00On March 19th, two New Mexico State representatives, Rebecca Dow and Stefani Lord, are pushing for a deeper probe into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. The Republican lawmaker sent a letter to the chair of the state's Truth Commission, Andrea Romero, urging it to look beyond individual actions and uncover systemic failures linked to the late financiers' activities there. The commission was set up under House Resolution, one to boost transparency and push for reforms. Dow and Lord, say, must dig into gaps in sex offender laws, delays by law enforcement or prosecutors, and poor coordination between local, state, and federal agencies. They highlight weaknesses in oversight and possible conflicts of interest among those in power. The reps stress that victims deserve a full picture of what went wrong to prevent repeats in New Mexico. Lord and Dow emphasized transparency and accountability, questioning of money or connections, stalled action. They want the probe to identify vulnerabilities across state institutions.
