Court regulators call for sanctions against Michael Gableman (R) for election investigation

Wisconsin’s Office of Lawyer Regulation says former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman violated several court conduct rules during his investigation into President-elect Donald Trump’s 2020 loss.

The regulators are recommending unspecified sanctions for Gableman, which would have to come from current Supreme Court justices including some who sat alongside him on the bench.

The complaint includes 10 counts which accuse Gableman of violating rules of professional conduct for attorneys. Those include:

Submitting court filings aimed at compelling mayors of Green Bay and Madison to testify about the 2020 election without telling a judge his team had agreed to waive depositions in exchange for election-related documents from those cities.
