New Mexico legislators probing Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday subpoenaed U.S. Attorneys’ offices in three states and the U.S. Virgin Islands for information on whether they chose not to ​prosecute the late sex offender after investigating his activities.

New Mexico’s “Truth Commission” on Epstein ‌approved subpoenas of the offices in southern Florida, South Carolina, the eastern and western districts of Michigan and the U.S. Virgin Islands in search of evidence that might show internal communication on decisions not to press ​charges against the late financier, the group’s chair told reporters.

The requests expand scrutiny beyond Epstein’s ​2007-2008 non-prosecution agreement with then-Florida U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta to prosecutors around ⁠the country who may have possessed information about his alleged crimes and chosen not to act.

“We ​have information that there were investigations in each of these spaces into the activities of Jeffrey ​Epstein,” New Mexico State Representative Andrea Romero, a Democrat and chair of the investigative committee, told reporters on a video call.
