Madison - Gov. Scott Walker has hired two experienced defense attorneys and will meet with Milwaukee County prosecutors about the John Doe investigation into his current and former aides.
Walker said in a statement released by his campaign Friday that he will not use any public money to pay for the attorneys that he has hired ahead of a meeting with prosecutors in Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm's office. Walker, who has repeatedly said he did nothing wrong, did not say when the meeting will happen.
"Last year, my representatives voluntarily contacted Mr. Chisholm's office to arrange a time to discuss any outstanding issues. I will be voluntarily meeting with Mr. Chisholm," Walker said. "To assemble additional background information, I hired counsel to insure that I am in the best position possible to continue aiding the inquiry."
So far, the John Doe investigation has led to charges being filed against four Walker aides or appointees while he was Milwaukee County executive. The Walker campaign's statement described the investigation as "ongoing."
A Walker campaign spokeswoman did not respond to requests to elaborate on whether the governor had received a subpoena or formal request to talk with prosecutors or what they might discuss
