New Mexico Subpoenas Federal Agencies Including The FBI And DOJ in Epstein Ranch Inquiry (6/5/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to spin back
• 0:07
  down the New Mexico and talk a little bit more
• 0:09
  about the truth Commission that has been put together to
• 0:13
  try and recreate what happened to New Mexico when it
• 0:17
  comes to Jeffrey Epstein, and in pursuit of that, they're
• 0:21
  going to be looking at everything according to them, including
• 0:24
  the FBI, the DOJ, and other agencies. And I think
• 0:30
  that's a good idea because these decisions didn't just happen. Right.
• 0:35
  The DOJ as a monolithic institute, didn't decide to give
• 0:39
  Jeffrey Epstein that sweetheart deal that was done by Mukaesy
• 0:44
  and that was done by Philippe. There were the two
• 0:47
  guys that were in charge at the time. It wasn't
• 0:49
  a costa. And I know people want to say it's
• 0:52
  a costa, but it wasn't. Middleman middle manager doesn't have
• 0:57
  that kind of pull. Oh and by the way, years
• 1:00
  worth of emails disappeared from Acosta and during that period
• 1:06
  while they were negotiating the NPA. So yeah, there's a
• 1:10
  lot of questions that need to be answered. And I
• 1:12
  don't think we're going to get that at the federal level.
• 1:15
  So the states that have been caught up in this,
• 1:18
  the states that have been affected, I would love to
• 1:20
  see all of them do the same thing. Today we
• 1:24
  have an article from the Latin Times and the headline
• 1:27
  FBIDJ among agencies facing scrutiny as New Mexico reopens questions
• 1:32
  around Epstein Ranch. This article was authored by Pedro Camacho.
• 1:39
  A bipartisan New Mexico commission investigating Jeffrey Epstein's or O
• 1:43
  Ranch announced Monday that it will issue subpoenas to multiple
• 1:47
  federal and state agencies, including the FBI and the Department
• 1:51
  of Justice, as lawmakers revisit long standing questions surrounding alleged
• 1:56
  criminal activity at the property and the institutions failed to
• 2:00
  stop it. And I just hope that it's not performative.
• 2:03
  I hope that they really plan on pursuing any leads
• 2:06
  they get, and I hope that they have the ability
• 2:09
  and the wherewithal to follow those leads wherever they go.
• 2:14
  And if somebody committed a crime, they should be held accountable.
• 2:18
  And New Mexico has a chance here to really set
• 2:20
  a standard right. If other states see it, they might
• 2:24
  want to get involved New York, especially if anyone needs
• 2:29
  some kind of truth commission about what Epstein was up to.
• 2:32
  It's New York. That man was so protected in New
• 2:34
  York that it's almost hard to wrap your mind around it.
• 2:39
  Why would the prosecutors themselves in New York try and
• 2:43
  argue that Jeffrey Epstein was not as dangerous of an
• 2:47
  offender as he was. What would motivate them to do that? Oh,
• 2:51
  that's right, Jeffrey Epstein's money, Jeffrey Epstein's friends, Jeffrey Epstein's pull.
• 3:00
  The New Mexico Truth Commission approved subpoenas for fourteen entities
• 3:04
  tied to either the previous investigation into Epstein or at
• 3:08
  operations linked to the ranch near Santa Fe. Those include
• 3:12
  the FBI, the US Department of Justice, the US Attorney's
• 3:15
  Office for the Southern District of New York, the New
• 3:18
  Mexico Department of Justice, JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and
• 3:22
  the Santa Fe Institute. That one is interesting because I've
• 3:26
  told you before they threw me directly off that campus.
• 3:30
  When I showed up at the Santa Fe Institute asking questions,
• 3:34
  they had no desire to answer any of them. The
• 3:36
  campus itself, though, is beautiful, there's no denying that. Look,
• 3:40
  the whole area is great. If I had the money,
• 3:44
  i'd buy a ranch down there. I mean, it's absolutely
• 3:47
  beautiful place. When I was driving from Albuquerque down to
• 3:50
  Santa Fe, I couldn't believe how many great properties I passed.
• 3:55
  I mean, absolutely fantastic looking properties. And then you get
• 3:58
  down to Stanley where Epstein's ranches. It's nothing but opulence,
• 4:02
  at least right around Epstein, but the whole surrounding area
• 4:08
  leading up to that absolutely beautiful and under normal circumstances,
• 4:13
  if you're a normal human being, I could totally see
• 4:16
  why somebody with a bunch of dough would want to
• 4:18
  build a ranch where he built it. I mean, it's
• 4:22
  a great location. And I'm talking about from an outdoors perspective,
• 4:27
  right as somebody who climbs mountains, somebody that likes to
• 4:30
  go backcountry hiking. That would be a dream come true
• 4:34
  to have a place like that. Lawmakers said that the
• 4:36
  commission aims to establish a complete, documented public record of
• 4:40
  alleged sex trafficking, abuse, and institutional failures connected to Epstein's
• 4:45
  activities in New Mexico. And I really hope they can
• 4:48
  do it, and I think that if they follow along
• 4:51
  with what people are telling them local people, they'll have
• 4:54
  a blueprint. I was blown away by what I heard
• 4:57
  from locals when I visited, and how the authorities just
• 5:02
  had no desire to see what was going on. When
• 5:04
  you have regular people, you know, front desk operators at hotels,
• 5:08
  who know that there's something wrong, you know that the
• 5:11
  authorities know that and they chose not to act. And
• 5:15
  hopefully that's what this commission is going to dig into.
• 5:17
  There needs to be accountability for the people that allowed
• 5:20
  this to occur. So you can say until you're blue
• 5:24
  in the face that Epstein's dead and that there's no
• 5:27
  proof to put anyone in prison when it comes to
• 5:29
  human trafficking, But there's a lot more going on here,
• 5:34
  and there's verifiable, obvious evidence that criminality was occurring. And
• 5:39
  I think that's one of my biggest frustrations, that it's
• 5:42
  obvious that other crimes were occurring and they just ignore it.
• 5:46
  They just act like it doesn't matter, when in fact,
• 5:48
  it does matter. We're talking about immigration fraud on the
• 5:53
  grand scale, So who is the point man or woman
• 5:56
  inside the immigration office? Patted Jeffrey Epstein so much pull
• 6:01
  or was it whoever his handler was in the government,
• 6:04
  or whoever his contact was, because I don't think Epstein
• 6:06
  had a handler, maybe at first, but not as things progressed.
• 6:12
  He was way too valuable and he had way too
• 6:14
  much going on to have someone he asked to check
• 6:17
  in with. We will name who was responsible, and we
• 6:20
  will do with the evidentiary rigor that survivors deserve. State
• 6:24
  Representative Andrea Reeb, a Republican and former prosecutor, said Monday
• 6:29
  during the hearing. As reported by The Hill, the hearing
• 6:32
  also featured testimony from alleged victims and relatives of survivors,
• 6:37
  including Rachel Benavidez, a New Mexico woman who said Epstein
• 6:41
  sexually abused her after she was hired as a massage
• 6:44
  therapist at the ranch. We have how many women who
• 6:47
  have come forward and said that they were abused at
• 6:50
  the ranch, five six confirmed. I mean, it's incredible, and
• 6:56
  you know there's more. There's always more a lot of
• 7:00
  women who probably don't know what's going on, people from Europe,
• 7:03
  people from Peru, people from god knows where, and these
• 7:06
  disgusting sons of bitches were bringing them in by the
• 7:09
  bus load. So my guess is we've just seen the
• 7:12
  very tip of the iceberg, right the very beginning. And
• 7:16
  when that damn breaks, that damn breaks, And my guess
• 7:19
  is that we're going to see a lot of allegations
• 7:22
  be made in the coming months about New Mexico. In
• 7:28
  twenty nineteen, when Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, I spoke out
• 7:31
  about the sexual abuse and crimes he committed against me,
• 7:34
  Benavidez told lawmakers, as Albuquerque Journal reports, I'm here again
• 7:39
  today In twenty twenty six as a fifty two year
• 7:42
  old woman speaking out and trying to find truth in
• 7:46
  justice and still no answers. Sky Roberts, brother of the
• 7:50
  late Virginia Roberts, urged New Mexico officials to pursue accountability,
• 7:55
  saying the state faced a choice between protecting power over
• 7:58
  people or leading efforts toward justice for survivors. And he's right.
• 8:04
  This could be a benchmark type of deal if it's
• 8:07
  conducted correctly, if everybody does the right thing, then yeah,
• 8:12
  we're onto something here and we might get to the
• 8:15
  bottom of at least a few of these different mysteries
• 8:18
  and provide these survivors with some of the answers that
• 8:20
  they've been looking for. The subpoena has come months after
• 8:25
  New Mexico lawmakers unanimously approved legislation creating the Commission to
• 8:29
  Investigate Alleged Criminal Activity Adzoro Ranch, where Epstein was accused
• 8:34
  in multiple civil lawsuits of sexually abusing girls but was
• 8:37
  never criminally charged. Well, I wonder why to criminally charge somebody,
• 8:43
  Usually you have to investigate them, and we all know
• 8:47
  that didn't happen. There was no real investigation of Jeffrey Epstein,
• 8:51
  and anybody who says that that's not true is not
• 8:54
  somebody that should be taken seriously. Additional FBI records released
• 8:59
  earlier this year showed agents and Albuquerque investigated claims that
• 9:03
  a century's old church death bell stolen in the thirties
• 9:06
  may have been stored at the ranch. The inquiry was
• 9:10
  eventually closed without a search warrant being issued. New Mexico
• 9:13
  Attorney General Rabul Torres reopened the state's investigation into the
• 9:18
  ranch earlier this year and has encouraged victims and witnesses
• 9:22
  to come forward and look. I really hope that they do.
• 9:26
  But how many of the girls are from places where
• 9:29
  this story might not even be reaching them. And I
• 9:33
  know that sounds crazy in the year twenty twenty six,
• 9:36
  but we know for a fact that Jeffrey Epstein, Jean
• 9:39
  Luke Brunel, and Glenn Maxwell went to vulnerable areas in
• 9:44
  places like Brazil, Peru and elsewhere to find girls. What
• 9:50
  do you think they all have Cox cable down there?
• 9:54
  They got themselves some fiber optic Internet in the cities, yeah,
• 9:59
  but not in these little villages, not in these little
• 10:02
  poor areas where Jeffrey Epstein and Glene Maxwell would go
• 10:06
  and hunt. And what about places over in Eastern Europe
• 10:10
  and god knows where else, Like I was saying earlier,
• 10:12
  So I think that we're going to see people come forward,
• 10:14
  But how many and from where? I think that's the question.
• 10:18
  And as we move forward, that question is going to
• 10:21
  be answered. And until we get those answers, me and
• 10:25
  my big mouth, well we'll be right here. All the
• 10:29
