Epstein's Rolodex: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson on Epstein's Short List
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, March 3, 2026
Epstein's Rolodex, the short list of his contacts, is among his final emails.
Before being arrested on his flight arrival in New York, Epstein sent a media man a list of his prime targets and friends.
Kathryn Ruemmler ex-Obama White House counsel is on the short list. Ruemmler was Obama's legal counsel with the first permits were signed for Energy Transfer's Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota in the spring of 2014.
Richardson's fall from glory paralleled that of Tex Hall, who was the head of the National Congress of American Indians, NCAI, and celebrated during the same years. As head of the Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota, Tex Hall brought in massive oil and gas wells. Eventually one of Hall's business partners was convicted in hired hits, the murders of two of their other business partners. Both Bill Richardson and Tex Hall were exposed in the dark history of oil and gas.
Epstein's Rolodex, the short list of his contacts, is among his final emails.
Before being arrested on his flight arrival in New York, Epstein sent a media man a list of his prime targets and friends.
On this short list, among the so-called royalty, and former presidents of world governments, was Bill Richardson's name. It shows that Richardson wasn't just an e-mail buddy, he was a prime player in Epstein's world.
Richardson posed as a so-called friend to Indian country, both as U.S. Secretary of Energy, and New Mexico Governor. Richardson's name is on list with the Rothschilds and the so-called royalty like Prince Andrew and another from Norway. There are the former heads of Israel, Colombia, and the U.K. There's a U.N. official from Russia, and there's Chomsky, Bill Gates, and Bill Clinton's names on Epstein's short list.
And there's Bill Richardson. Richardson is named by one of the victims as an abuser. Victimized as a teenagers, she also named Prince Andrew, who was removed from royalty. (See the Rolodex list below.)
Bill Richardson, Dick Cheney and Blood Oil
One of our readers asked about Gov. Bill Richardson's link to Dick Cheney, we found it our Censored News files. Richardson, who was friends with Epstein for years, is named as one of the abusers of an underage girl. As U.S. Secretary of Energy, and Governor of New Mexico, he posed as a friend to tribal leaders, and kept Epstein informed about his negotiations with Navajo President Ben Shelly.
Then, Richardson joined the 'Blood Oil' industry, and served on the board of Genie Oil and Gas, with Dick Cheney. There are two other names from Epstein's circle of friends in the emails that were also on Richardson's new 'blood oil' board: billionaire Larry Summers and a Rothschild banker in the hide-your-cash empire.
Richardson's fall from glory paralleled that of Tex Hall, who was the head of the National Congress of American Indians, NCAI, and celebrated during the same years. As head of the Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota, Tex Hall brought in massive oil and gas wells. Eventually one of Hall's business partners was convicted in hired hits, the murders of two of their other business partners. Both Bill Richardson and Tex Hall were exposed in the dark history of oil and gas.
New Mexico's Governors were Involved with Epstein for Years
It comes as no surprise that the feds shut down New Mexico's investigation of Epstein and his ranch years ago. Epstein cut a plea deal after his first arrest for sex crimes with minors in 2008, and agreed to be an informant. But it goes far deeper.
New Mexico Gov. Bruce King sold Epstein the Zorro Ranch. Gov. King's son, Gary, asked Epstein to charter a jet for him to go to Washington when he ran for governor. Deb Haaland, running for Lt. Gov, was on the flight.
Epstein was involved with New Mexico governors for years, and New Mexico's nuclear scientists in Santa Fe.
Epstein's lure ensnared global bankers, the Rothchilds, Israel's former prime minister, Hollywood producers, and global shipping leaders.
Girls and women were disposables, trafficked and tortured, as Epstein's hidden cameras recorded those who could be compromised for blackmail at the Zorro Ranch south of Santa Fe.How many Indigenous women were victims. The ranch is in the region of the Pueblos, Navajo Nation and Apache lands.
