Wisconsin GOP-ordered election probe extended through April
Associated PressMADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s Republican Assembly speaker signed a new contract Tuesday with Michael Gableman, the former state Supreme Court justice he hired to investigate the 2020 election, extending his review through the end of April. “We’re just trying to complete the investigation on many of the issues that were raised in the report.” Former President Donald Trump issued a statement praising Vos for “standing by” Gableman. Trump, his his statement Tuesday, said he hoped Vos would act on Gableman’s report, which also called for dismantling the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission. “I cannot find a single document in this record that if released would undermine Mr. Gableman’s investigation,” Remington said. Gableman’s attorney James Bopp said there are people who want to impede the investigation and releasing the documents, especially when they were first requested months ago, would have allowed people to know what Gableman’s intentions were and they could have hired lawyers, destroyed documents or taken other steps to thwart him.
