Overview
- State justice officials said special agents and prosecutors are seeking complete federal case files and will coordinate with the newly formed legislative panel.
- The House unanimously created a four-member bipartisan commission with subpoena power and roughly $2–$2.5 million to deliver an interim report by July 31 and a final by Dec. 31.
- Documents show federal agents did not search the ranch in 2019, and a state inquiry that year was paused at federal prosecutors’ request to avoid a parallel investigation.
- Survivor accounts and testimony in Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial describe abuse at the ranch, which appears repeatedly in the recent DOJ document release.
- The property was sold in 2023 to an entity tied to Texas candidate Don Huffines, who renamed it San Rafael Ranch and says he will grant full access if contacted by law enforcement.
