The state's "Truth Commission" issued the summons to offices in southern Florida, South Carolina, the eastern and western districts of Michigan, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Chairwoman Andrea Romero confirmed that the committee possesses information suggesting these offices held active investigations into Epstein’s activities but failed to pursue charges. This move significantly widens the scope of the inquiry beyond the well-documented 2007-2008 non-prosecution agreement involving former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta.
With these latest requests and additional demands sent to state agencies, the commission has now issued roughly 23 subpoenas to law enforcement, financial institutions, and other entities. The goal is to uncover whether public officials knowingly ignored Epstein’s history of sexual abuse. Rachel Benavidez, a survivor of abuse at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, welcomed the effort as a necessary step to challenge the protection of powerful figures. The committee plans to release an interim report by the end of July, potentially setting the stage for future prosecutions by the New Mexico attorney general.
