MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — The state of Wisconsin is a focal point of the third federal indictment against former President Donald Trump.
A four-count document says Trump tried to use a number of “alternate” electors in Wisconsin and other states who would ignore the votes cast and select him as president in the 2020 election.
The indictment accuses Trump of making false claims of election fraud in Wisconsin and calling for the results to be overturned.
Tuesday, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul made no comment on whether the state would follow Michigan’s lead in filing charges against the fake electors.
“We’re going to make decisions based on our best judgment about what the law provides, what the facts show and what’s in the best interest,” said Kaul.
Trump called the allegations a political witch hunt.
