"The federal government asked New Mexico to stop their investigation, I believe, back in 2019 of that ranch. So there's just so many questions about how the government failed, the victims and how government failed in trying to prosecute Epstein sooner. I mean, this whole thing doesn't make sense. Everyone has conspiracy theories on how Epstein was able to get away with it."
"It was the Department of Justice, I believe. And I believe it was because they had I believe, it perhaps was Southern District of New York because they had taken over the investigation at that point. So, again these are questions that we have. We want to get the answers."
Rep. James Comer stated that the Department of Justice requested New Mexico authorities to cease their 2019 investigation into a ranch formerly owned by convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The property, where trafficking victims reported being exploited, underwent federal investigation before local authorities were reportedly told to stop. Epstein died in custody in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. Comer, chairing the House Oversight Committee, expressed concerns about government failures in prosecuting Epstein and protecting victims. He indicated the Southern District of New York likely took over the investigation, prompting questions about why federal authorities halted the state-level probe. Recent searches of the property have renewed scrutiny into the circumstances surrounding Epstein's case.
