Prosecutors Appeal Decision to Halt Recall Investigation
Thursday, May 8th, 2014 -- 10:07 AM
-Wisconsin prosecutors have appealed a federal judge's decision to halt the investigation into Gov. Scott Walker's 2012 recall campaign and conservative groups that supported him.U.S. District Judge Rudolph T. Randa issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday blocking the probe into whether Walker's campaign illegally coordinated with those groups about the spending. Randa also ordered prosecutors to destroy all their evidence.
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm asked the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago to stay the injunction on Wednesday.
Chisholm argued that the order to destroy evidence conflicts is premature and Randa ignored a request for a hearing.
