Feds subpoena records for governor’s travel, pay as DA
SANTA FE, N.M. — A federal grand jury has subpoenaed travel, pay and other records for Gov. Susana Martinez covering her final months in 2010 as state district attorney for Doña Ana County.
The subpoena was issued to the Doña Ana County DA’s Office in September and also sought records for Amy Orlando, whom Martinez appointed to succeed her as district attorney after her election as governor, and for Aaron “Kip” Scarborough, who worked as an investigator in the DA’s Office under Martinez and Orlando.
The Doña Ana County DA’s Office provided a copy of the subpoena Monday in response to a public-records request from the Journal.
Martinez spokesman Chris Sanchez said in a written statement:
“The Governor has not received a target letter, and she is not the target of an investigation. She has not testified before a grand jury, and has not hired a lawyer. The subpoena frankly underscores our previous statements that any investigation is based on the same old tired allegations made by opponents with an ax to grind.”
