MADISON, WI (WHBL) - Governor Scott Walker went on national T-V Friday morning to continue his denials of wrongdoing. That's after court documents were released yesterday afternoon, in which John Doe prosecutors wrote that Walker was at the center of a "criminal scheme" connected with his 2012 recall election and those of G-O-P state senators. The documents stated that Walker and Republican operatives R-J Johnson and Deborah Jordahl helped raise money and control recall campaign spending with the help of 12 conservative groups. They reportedly discussed their plans with prominent G-O-P figures, including strategist Karl Rove. Prosecutor Francis Schmitz said they broke multiple election laws, including the filing of false campaign reports. Federal Judge Rudolph Randa halted the John Doe probe last month, before any charges could be filed. State judge Gregory Peterson earlier quashed subpoenas against targets, saying there was no probable cause that campaign laws were broken. According to the documents, previous John Doe judge Barbara Kluka ordered numerous home raids to round up evidence connected with at least 29 conservative groups. In a news conference, a statement, and tweets, the Republican Walker said two federal and state judges had not bought the prosecutors' arguments. He called them "categorically false." Walker also slammed prosecutor John Chisholm, calling the Milwaukee County D-A a "partisan Democrat." The governor also said the John Doe probe should be dropped for good, and Democrats will use it to distract from the issues most important to Wisconsin voters. The governor went on the "Fox and Friends" show at 6:15 this morning to take his side of the story national. Walker has a strong profile throughout the country as a possible White House candidate in 2016.
