MADISON, WI (WRN) – The latest development in a partisan Republican investigation into the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin
State Attorney General Josh Kaul has a request of Speaker Robin Vos.
“So my excuse to Speaker Vos is simple: shut this fake investigation down.”
Vos hired former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who’s issued multiple subpoenas to local officials, asking them to be interviewed at his office in Brookfield.
“The whole use of this subpoena process is really a show here, because there are elections officials around the state who are happy to talk voluntarily to folks in an open forum, where the public’s able to see what’s happening.”
One of those subpoenas requires state Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe to testify on Friday. Kaul says it could end up in court.
“The current request is not a lawful request in our view and we think a court would find that she’s not required to testify there. Again, she’s happy to talk to them.”
In a statement, Vos said Gableman will continue his investigation, and that the subpoenas have been issued correctly.
