[edit] New Mexico Records on Governor Aides, JPMorgan Sought in Probe

"A federal grand jury investigating whether New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson’s administration steered bond advisory work to a campaign contributor subpoenaed correspondence from the governor’s top political advisers and a JPMorgan Chase & Co. banker.

The Sept. 22 subpoena, obtained from the governor’s office under the state’s open records law, shows the grand jury’s interest in the roles that former Richardson chief of staff David Contarino, political adviser Michael Stratton, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. banker Chris Romer may have played in the hiring of CDR Financial Products Inc. The probe’s existence was earlier reported by Bloomberg News."
