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 Epstein’s banks. The commission is working to gather the stories of Epstein’s 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 Epstein’s estate; the FBI, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Mexico, the U.S. Attorney’s 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 governor’s office, the New Mexico State Land Commissioner, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department and the Santa Fe Institute.
