Election Probe Chief Called Back to Witness Stand

Monday, June 20th, 2022 -- 9:02 AM

(Terry Bell, WRN) Controversial special counsel Michael Gableman is being called back to court in Dane County.

Gableman refused to answer questions when he took the stand in a combative hearing last week. His office is being sued for lack of compliance with open records requests.

The judge in the case found Gableman in contempt of court, and is fining him two-thousand dollars a day until he turns the records over to a liberal watchdog group called American Oversight.

Republicans hired Gableman to lead a review of the 2020 election at the urging of former president Donald Trump. Gableman's ongoing review has so far cost Wisconsin taxpayers roughly 900-thousand dollars.
