Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — State Senate Republicans want New Mexico’s Epstein Truth Commission to put two of the state’s most prominent Democrats under oath — gubernatorial candidate Deb Haaland and U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury. Senate Republican Leader Bill Sharer, a Republican from Farmington, said the commission can’t scrutinize federal agencies while giving a pass to “two of the most powerful Democrats in New Mexico.” The caucus is asking the commission to take up the request at its next scheduled meeting Aug. 5th. Stansbury says she’s happy to testify. Deb Haaland’s campaign did not comment directly on the subpoena request. The Truth Commission has subpoena power along with a $2 million budget, and coordinates its findings with the state Department of Justice.
