Governor's ex-campaign manager indicted
A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted Gov. Susana Martinez’s former campaign manager for stealing emails intended for her and her staff.
The 14-count indictment also accused Jamie Estrada, right, of lying to FBI agents when they questioned him last September.
Estrada, 40, of Los Lunas, managed Martinez’s gubernatorial campaign from July through December of 2009, the early stages of her race for the Republican nomination.
The government alleges that Estrada left Martinez's campaign with usernames and passwords for an Internet domain owned by Martinez’s political organization. Estrada took the information in defiance of Martinez’s request, via email, that he return everything related to the campaign, according to the indictment.
