New Mexico's Epstein Truth Commission Kicks Off

New Mexicos Epstein Truth Commission Kicks Off Hiring Process for Zorro Ranch Investigation

New Mexicos Epstein Truth Commission has reached a significant milestone by initiating the hiring process for lawyers and investigators to delve into Jeffrey Epsteins activities at his Zorro Ranch. With a budget of two million dollars from bank settlements, this bipartisan panel aims to uncover the truth about what transpired on the property he owned from 1993 until his death in 2019.

The team will review law enforcements handling of past allegations, examine gaps in the statute of limitations for child sexual assault survivors, and assess the need for changes in sex offender registry laws. They will also explore compensation for victims using seized Epstein funds.

The commission, chaired by Representative Andrea Romero from Santa Fe, faces logistical challenges as it navigates the hiring process. Applications closed on Thursday, with selections announced on or after April 10th, and a media team deadline of April 14th. The commission has the power to subpoena witnesses and hold hearings, but they are working against a tight deadline, with an initial report due by the end of July and a final report by the end of the year.

If additional time is needed into next year, the legislature will decide. This probe, funded by Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan settlements, could finally shed light on overlooked crimes in the Land of Enchantment.
