State of New Mexico sues Justice Department and Todd Blanche, saying they blocked its Epstein probe

The state of New Mexico sued the Department of Justice and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging they obstructed the state's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes at a ranch in New Mexico. The lawsuit claims the federal government's refusal to share information harms victims and undermines efforts to hold Epstein's associates accountable, as New Mexico is among the few jurisdictions still pursuing justice for Epstein's alleged crimes.
