A federal grand jury has subpoenaed a variety of payroll, expense and law enforcement records relating to Gov. Susana Martinez and two employees who worked under her at the Doña Ana County state District Attorney’s Office in 2010.
The Sept. 22 subpoena directed the 3rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office — where Martinez served as the top prosecutor before becoming governor in 2011 — to produce the records for a federal grand jury convened in Albuquerque on Oct. 6 “in connection with a criminal investigation being conducted in this District,” according to a copy of the subpoena obtained by The New Mexican through a public records request.
A spokesman for Martinez said Saturday that the governor is not being investigated.
