New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed a federal civil lawsuit accusing Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn of helping facilitate and conceal Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation, including alleged abuse at Zorro Ranch. The suit seeks to block the men, co-executors of Epstein’s estate, from receiving assets while the case proceeds, recover money, and direct funds toward survivors and state costs. The estate is valued at more than $100 million, and the complaint alleges the men received substantial payments from Epstein and benefited from arrangements connected to the operation. Indyke and Kahn deny knowing about or participating in Epstein’s abuse. The lawsuit comes amid renewed state scrutiny of alleged crimes at the New Mexico ranch, where Epstein was never charged.

St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry amended his lawsuit against Mayor Kaohly Her, adding an individual reprisal claim and alleging retaliation through public statements, exclusion from personnel decisions and delayed access to a heavily redacted investigation report. An independent investigation found inappropriate workplace conduct but did not substantiate sexual harassment; Her has disputed Henry’s account of their interactions.

Nebraska Advocate Sues DHHS Over Half-Century Records Request Estimate

Nebraska disability advocate Curt Safranek is suing the state Department of Health and Human Services, arguing its estimate of nearly $1 million and projected decades-long wait to provide records about a consultant’s review of the interRAI system effectively deny public access. After he narrowed his request, DHHS lowered the estimate to about $474,000 but still projected a 25-year delay; Safranek is asking a court to require a lawful estimate and timely access.
