MADISON, WI (WRN) – A Dane County judge has ordered Michael Gableman – who’s overseeing the partisan probe into Wisconsin’s 2020 elections – to pay two thousand dollars per day until he satisfies an open records request.
Judge Patrick Remington found Gableman to be in contempt last week after the former state Supreme Court Justice refused to answer questions in court.
In his ruling, Remington cites comments from Gableman who was picked up by an open mic while the court was in recess. Gableman could be heard making sarcastic comments about the judge and inappropriate comments about an attorney for American Oversight, the group suing to get the records.
Remington has also ordered a transcript of the court hearing forwarded to the Office of Lawyer Regulation for “appropriate disciplinary action.”
