Scott Walker Responds to ‘Partisan Investigation’ over Election Fundraising

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker responded on Twitter earlier tonight about prosecutors’ allegations over his involvement in a “criminal scheme” to coordinate fundraising efforts.

Walker dismissed it as a partisan witch hunt and cites rulings from two judges that have already vindicated his innocence.

Here’s what Walker had to say on Twitter:

The accusation of any wrongdoing written in the complaint by the office of a partisan Dem DA by me or by my campaign is categorically false.

In fact two judges, in both state and federal courts, have ruled that no laws were broken.

This is nothing more than a partisan investigation with no basis in state law.

It’s time for the prosecutors to acknowledge both judge’s orders to end this investigation.

Now my Democratic opponents will use these false accusations to distract from the issues important to the voters of Wisconsin.
