Madison – A secret probe into those around Gov. Scott Walker has continued after the June 5 recall election and expanded beyond Milwaukee County and into state government, new records show.
The documents show that Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm’s office continues its John Doe investigation into Walker’s administration even as the inquiry has gone publicly quiet over the summer.
The records obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel through an open records request show that a Milwaukee County prosecutor sought personnel records from Walker’s office and another state agency in June and then met with a top state lawyer the next day.
It was unclear why Chisholm’s office was seeking the documents, and there’s no indication at all from the records turned over by the Walker administra tion that any crime or impropriety was committed at the state level. Jocelyn Webster, a spokeswoman for Walker’s office, said she didn’t know why prosecutors wanted them.
