Former Trump aides allege judicial misconduct in Wisconsin fake elector case
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former attorney in battleground Wisconsin alleged Monday that a judge presiding over his felony forgery case related to the 2020 election is guilty of misconduct and must step aside.
The attorney and two other former Trump associates charged in relation to their roles in the 2020 fake elector scheme asked that the preliminary hearing in their case set for Dec. 15 be postponed. They also asked that an evidentiary hearing be held by a judge in another county to examine the allegations of wrongdoing.
Details of the alleged misconduct were sealed by the court and not publicly available.
Jim Troupis, who was Trump’s attorney in Wisconsin in the 2020 election, filed the motion one week before he and two others were scheduled to appear for the preliminary hearing in Dane County Circuit Court.
