The Epstein Truth Commission has subpoenaed the New Mexico governor’s office, seeking records of communications, travel, and calendar entries between former governor Bill Richardson and Jeffrey Epstein from 2003 to 2011.

Background on the Investigation

Richardson was named in the Epstein files and had visited Zorro Ranch several times. The governor’s office responded to the subpoena with a statement, saying they do not have any records pertaining to Zorro Ranch or Bill Richardson’s relationship with Epstein.

A Target 7 investigation earlier this year revealed that Richardson arranged nine meetings with Epstein, including some at Zorro Ranch. Richardson was accused by Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre, before her suicide, of being forced to give Epstein a massage. Richardson also received $50,000 in campaign contributions from Epstein, which he later donated to charity.

Response from the Attorney General’s Office

The Truth Commission has issued six subpoenas so far, including one to the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office, which is conducting its own Epstein investigation and collaborating with the commission. The attorney general’s office also issued a statement, saying they intend to comply with all lawful requests and are assessing the subpoena’s provisions to determine how they can best support the Truth Commission’s important mission.
