Wisconsin state regulators on Friday recommended a three-year suspension for a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice over his conduct while serving as special counsel to the Wisconsin Assembly.
Michael Gableman, a staunch 2020 election denier and vocal ally of President Donald Trump, was hired in 2021 by Republican Speaker Robin Vos as special counsel to the Wisconsin Assembly to head up one of four investigations into the results of the 2020 election. Gableman served in that position for one year. Vos fired him in late 2022 after he endorsed Vos’s challenger in that year’s primary election. During his tenure, the Assembly paid Gableman $117,294 and spent $2.3 million in expenses for rent, travel, consultants, outside lawyers and court fines and penalties, according to the state’s Office of Lawyer Regulation.
