Leader Sharer: Haaland and Stansbury Depositions Must Be Public, and Must Happen Before Election Day
Leader Sharer: Haaland and Stansbury Depositions Must Be Public, and Must Happen Before Election Day
Santa Fe, NM — Senate Republican Leader Bill Sharer (R-Farmington) reacted today to news that the legislative Epstein "Truth" Commission is moving to depose former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury over their potential connections to Jeffrey Epstein, demanding the depositions be conducted publicly and completed before Election Day in pursuit of transparency.
"New Mexicans deserve to know what two of this state's most powerful politicians knew about Jeffrey Epstein, and they deserve to know it before they vote, not after," Leader Sharer said. "This commission has subpoena power precisely so the public can finally get real answers. Burying these depositions behind closed doors, or letting them drag out past November 3rd, would defeat the entire purpose of calling it a so-called 'truth' commission in the first place."
Leader Sharer said the demand for transparency is made more urgent by the commission's own controversial record under its chair, Representative Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe.)
