(…) Former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas launched an investigation but was asked to halt it in July 2019 by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Maureen Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey.
According to a Sept. 8, 2019, redacted email, her office said it “spoke with the New Mexico AG’s office back in July 2019. In essence, they agreed to cease any investigation into sex trafficking and share whatever they had gathered to date regarding sex trafficking activity with our office. We agreed that they were free. To proceed with whatever other investigations unrelated to sex trafficking they may have concerning Epstein and told them that at the conclusion of our case, we would pass along any information we may have gathered about the state crimes that were committed in their jurisdiction.”
In a letter to Comey obtained by The Center Square, Balderas provided documents of “police reports, recorded witness interviews, correspondence amongst New Mexico State agencies, and documents related to Epstein’s leasing of New Mexico public lands.” The Trump administration redacted Comey’s name even though it was public knowledge that she was the US attorney at the time. Her office said it was interviewing Epstein victims based on the information Balderas provided, according to an Oct. 11, 2019, email. In 2020, Balderas was still providing information. No charges were brought; no search warrants were issued to search Zorro ranch. (Read more: The Center Square, 2/19/2026)
