New Mexico sues DOJ over Epstein ranch investigation obstruction

New Mexico's Attorney General Raúl Torrez has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice, accusing it of obstructing his investigation into sex crimes at Jeffrey Epstein's ranch.

Despite promises of cooperation, Torrez states his office has faced consistent resistance and denial of requests for information, which he believes could be provided by Blanche with a simple directive.
