A committee known as the New Mexico Truth Commission expects to send subpoenas this week to 14 targets. They include federal agencies that investigated Epstein in the past — the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI — and state and local law enforcement agencies that looked into Epstein. Demands are also expected to go to Epstein’s former banks — Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan Chase — and the Santa Fe Institute, a nonprofit scientific research institution he supported.

If the committee finds evidence that someone committed a crime that can be prosecuted, it will refer the case to the appropriate law enforcement agency, either in New Mexico or elsewhere, members said.
