A third judge added to a growing chorus of Wisconsin court orders directing special counsel Michael Gableman not to destroy records in his 2020 election inquiry.
Dane County Circuit Judge Jacob Frost issued a temporary restraining order Tuesday directing Gableman, a former state Supreme Court justice, not to destroy any records tied to his election inquiry, even if they were not part of an open records request."Until Plaintiff's motion for a temporary injunction has been heard and ruled on by this Court, the Office of Special Counsel is hereby restrained and enjoined from deleting any documents in its custody," the order read.
In one of those lawsuits, the group alleged that his office informed its staff that he had frequently been deleting documents he considered unrelated to his investigation. During a court hearing in another case involving American Oversight last month, Gableman admitted to that under oath. LITIGATION UPDATE: A Wisconsin court has granted a temporary restraining order preventing the Office of Special Counsel from deleting records — one week after we, with @DemocracyFwd and Pines Bach LLP, filed a lawsuit and emergency motion. https://t.co/ICs14PHbU1 https://t.co/dB2ZNa7hAOSome of those deleted documents included emails and the deactivation of an email account he used in the early days of his investigation.
