Noteworthy events
John Doe investigations
Two John Doe investigations, beginning in 2010 and ending in 2015, were launched by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm (D) into the activities of staff and associates of Gov. Scott Walker (R).[2] In August 2012, Robles filed a petition to begin the second John Doe investigation. The second John Doe investigation was opened based on the theory that the Walker campaign had coordinated with conservative 501(c)(4) social welfare groups, making what prosecutors alleged were illegal independent expenditures during the 2012 attempt to recall Walker due to his support for Act 10. Independent expenditures are monies spent on political advertising in support of or against a particular candidate.[3][4][5]
Robles was named as a defendant in a federal lawsuit filed by Eric O'Keefe against the prosecutors of the John Doe investigations. O'Keefe and his organization, Wisconsin Club for Growth (WCFG), were targets in the second John Doe investigation.[6] O'Keefe and WCFG took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.[7].[8] On May 18, 2015, the Court declined to hear the appeal.[9]
