NM lawmakers will launch 1st investigation of Zorro Ranch [View all]

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

(That Ranch is less than a hrs drive from me). NM Rep Melanie Stanberry has been one of more vocal of the Dems searching the Epstein files .
