ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Attorney General Gary King said Wednesday a grand jury has returned indictments against former Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil Giron and three others, alleging misuse of public money.

Vigil-Giron told The Associated Press she couldn't comment on the indictments.

Earlier, Vigil-Giron issued a statement where she said she could account "for every last nickel" of federal money spent on a voter education project that has been the target of a grand jury and a state attorney general investigation.

Vigil-Giron had no comment Tuesday as she left a courthouse where a Bernalillo County grand jury was looking into the use of millions of dollars in federal voter education funds while she was in office.

King did not immediately identify the others who were indicted but said the indictments capped a two-year investigation.
