Dane County Judge orders Robin Vos to turn over election investigation records
A Dane County circuit judge on Friday ordered Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to release records related to the Republican-led investigation into Wisconsin’s 2020 election.
The ruling came within hours of a public records lawsuit being filed and as the involvement in the investigation of Andrew Kloster, a Republican attorney and former member of President Donald Trump’s administration, continued to raise questions about the credibility of the inquiry, which is being led by retired state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman.
The mayors and clerks in the state’s five largest cities had been ordered to testify as part of the investigation later this month. But in an about-face Thursday, Kloster called Madison City Attorney Michael Haas to inform him that the investigation had backed off its initial request for interviews.
Then on Friday morning, Gableman told WISN-AM’s conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell he still plans to require city officials to testify at some point. Gableman also compared newspaper reports about Kloster’s conversation with Haas to Nazi propaganda.
