The state Legislature earlier this year created the bipartisan House investigatory subcommittee and gave it a $2 million budget, which came from settlement funds with Epsteins banks. The commission is working to gather the stories of Epsteins survivors and is vetting information gathered by solicited tips and through subpoenas to potentially refer to the New Mexico Department of Justice for prosecution.
The abuses that occurred here in New Mexico went ignored here for over 20 years, Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe), who chairs the commission, said at the Monday meeting. We are focused on a thorough investigation, not one of expedience for the sake of news cycles we are here and we will not look away.

The commission is made up of Romero, Rep. William Bill Hall (R-Aztec), a former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent; Rep. Andrea Reeb (R-Clovis), an attorney who has prosecuted crimes against children; and Rep. Marianna Anaya (D-Albuquerque), a former deputy director for the progressive organization ProgressNow New Mexico and an advocate for abuse survivors.
Together, they announced that they would issue 14 subpoenas to Epsteins estate; the FBI, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of New Mexico, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, the New Mexico Department of Public Safety, the New Mexico Department of Justice, the New Mexico governors office, the New Mexico State Land Commissioner, the Santa Fe County Sheriffs Department and the Santa Fe Institute.
