Nineteen Wisconsin legislators have called for an official investigation into alleged criminal misconduct by the Republican governor Scott Walker, based on their review of court documents leaked to the Guardian.
The legislators, who represent more than half of the Democratic group within the state assembly, have written to the prosecutor for Duane County, which covers the state capital Madison as well as Walker’s home residence.
They urge the district attorney, Ismael Ozanne, to initiate an immediate investigation into what they describe as “serious allegations … of possible crimes”, in order to “protect the public interest in a government that is free of corruption”.
The signatories of the letter, who include assembly minority leader Peter Barca, allege that they have identified ways in which Walker “may have engaged in criminal conduct” that have never before been addressed in any official inquiry.
