Former New Mexico AG says feds kept him out of the loop

Now, Balderas says documents released by the Department of Justice connected to Epstein portray a concerning relationship between federal authorities probing the Epstein case and Richardson’s legal team.

“They shared more information with defense attorneys than they did with prosecutors and law enforcement in New Mexico,” Balderas said.

One of those defense attorneys was Jeffrey Brown, a former federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Records show he communicated about a statement his client, Bill Richardson, released, absolving the former governor of wrongdoing.
