New Mexico has filed a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's longtime attorney and accountant, accusing them of knowingly concealing his sex trafficking operation and enabling abuse to continue for years. The suit alleges the two professionals provided legal and financial services that helped shield Epstein's activities from scrutiny, despite warning signs. New Mexico officials argue the pair bear responsibility for facilitating harm to victims by failing to report or act on suspicious conduct. The case adds to the broader legal fallout from Epstein's case, which continues to produce new litigation against associates accused of enabling his crimes, as survivors and state authorities pursue accountability beyond Epstein himself.

Democratic Socialists of America member Angie Nixon won a Florida Democratic primary by a 12-point margin, prompting warnings from party moderates about a broader leftward shift within the state's Democratic ranks. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., pointed to the result as evidence of a growing divide between establishment and progressive Democrats, while detailing the strategy that helped him fend off a far-left primary challenger of his own, DSA-backed Oliver Larkin, in a competitive South Florida district roughly a quarter Jewish.

Larkin, who wants to cut funding to Israel, abolish ICE and pass Medicare for All, drew scrutiny after appearing to cut short a TV interview when the host fact-checked his claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Moskowitz also pushed back on Sen. Rick Scott's claim that moderate Democrats are reluctant to confront the party's progressive wing. The exchanges underscore an intensifying intraparty debate over ideology and electability, closely watched for its implications on primary contests and candidate viability in future Democratic races.
