New Mexico lawmakers hope a new “Truth Commission” will help them uncover what happened at Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County as the public scrutinizes a tranche of documents released about the late convicted sex offender and financier.

Despite millions of pages and images detailing meetings, sex scandals, and corruption among influential elites released by the U.S. Department of Justice, much of what happened at the 7,500-acre ranch is still cloaked in secrecy.
