Description | Gov. Scott Walker's campaign fund has paid nearly $60,000 to the firm it hired late last year to respond to questions raised by a John Doe criminal investigation.
Multiple sources say Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm's office also has spent more than a year conducting a secret investigation into whether Walker's former county staffers were campaigning on county time. John Doe cases are secret proceedings in which witnesses can be subpoenaed and compelled to testify under oath about potential criminal matters.
Two of Walker's former county aides recently stepped away - one permanently and the other temporarily - from their jobs in his state administration.
Records show the Walker campaign made three payments to Michael Best & Friedrich totaling $59,617 between March and May for "compliance/administrative" activities.
Former U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic, now with Michael Best, began working for the Walker campaign after prosecutors subpoenaed campaign records in the days before the November election. |
