Epstein Files Bill Pushes for Full Transparency | Santa Fe News

Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández is advancing a new bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, to force the Justice Department to release withheld documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Building on last year’s success that unveiled millions of pages, this version empowers state attorneys general, Congress, and victims to sue if files aren’t disclosed. Co-sponsored by bipartisan lawmakers including Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie and backed in the Senate by Ben Ray Luján, the bill is crucial for ongoing investigations—especially in New Mexico, where prosecutors are probing Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, referenced 13,000 times in redacted records. With a discharge petition ready as a fallback, sponsors hope to overcome legislative delays and rally Republican support for accountability. As state prosecutors work to build criminal cases based on provable conduct, full transparency remains essential to uncovering the truth and delivering justice.
