* Epstein's Zorro Ranch: New Owner Is A Political Ally of Donald Trump [View all]


Epstein's Zorro Ranch: Now Owned By Trump Political Ally, Don Huffines

The Ranch Was Never Searched—N.M. Land Commissioner Seeks Probe Into Allegation of Two Girls Buried Near Epstein Ranch

In 2023, Zorro Ranch, Epstein’s sprawling New Mexico estate in southern Santa Fe County, was sold to San Rafael Ranch LLC, a limited liability company created just one month before the purchase. The final sale price has not been publicly disclosed. The property was originally listed for $27.5 million before the price was reduced to $18 million.

Public records have revealed that San Rafael Ranch LLC is tied to the family of Don Huffines, a Trump-aligned former Texas state senator and current candidate for Texas Comptroller. Tax protest filings obtained through a public records request list Huffines’ wife as an owner of the ranch and son Colin Huffines, as manager.

In November 2019, months after Epstein’s arrest and death, the U.S. Department of Justice documented an email that, if credible, should have required immediate forensic action. The email included in newly released DOJ files, was sent from an encrypted ProtonMail account by someone identifying themselves as “a former staff at the Zorro.” The sender attached six videos of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and alleged that “two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G” in the hills outside Zorro Ranch.

The email claimed the girls “died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex.”
"Madam G” is widely understood to refer to Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year federal sentence for sex trafficking. It’s noted that one of the videos is a suicide attempt confession from a girl in the Bay Area.


Now that the ranch is owned by a Trump political ally, how difficult will it be to investigate and properly search the property?
