Assembly Speaker Robin Vos fires 2020 election investigator Michael Gableman
MADISON, Wis. (AP) The Wisconsin Assembly Republican leader who hired a former state Supreme Court justice to investigate the 2020 election fired him Friday, after the former justice and former President Donald Trump backed the lawmakers opponent.
Speaker Robin Voss firing of Michael Gableman ends a 14-month probe that began with Vos voicing full confidence in Gablemans abilities.
Vos had rejected Gablemans determination that lawmakers should consider decertifying the 2020 election, as Trump wants. Vos cited widespread legal opinions that it would be both unconstitutional and impossible to do.
As the probe progressed under bipartisan criticism, Voss relationship soured with both Trump and Gableman. Gableman then backed Vos opponent in Tuesdays primary. After Vos won -- by 260 votes -- he said the former justice was an embarrassment to himself and the state.
Gableman, who has repeatedly falsely claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, has said that Vos never wanted a real investigation.
