New Mexico state lawmakers held the first meeting of their Epstein "Truth Commission" on Monday, launching a formal investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch and its potential use for criminal activity, human trafficking, and sexual abuse.
Federal investigations into Epstein were conducted in Florida and New York, but no federal probe was launched in New Mexico. Giuffre's family addressed that gap directly, expressing hope that a meaningful separation between state and federal government could benefit survivors. They said that when an Epstein survivor feels the federal government has wronged them, the state government should be able to step in and conduct its own investigation — and they hope something meaningful can come from this probe.
The commission left Monday's meeting with 14 subpoenas. The subpoenas are not directed at specific individuals but target the Epstein Estate, as well as banks and other entities tied to Epstein or related investigations.
