Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman confessed under oath Thursday that he regularly deleted emails and deactivated his email account even after he received records requests.
In testimony in a Dane County courtroom, Gableman said he deleted documents that he deemed not useful to his investigation of the 2020 election in Wisconsin, did not preserve all his notes, and deactivated an email account.“Did I delete documents? Yes, I did,” he told Dane County Circuit Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn, the Associated Press reported.
The judge chided him for delivering"contradicting" remarks and disparaged the work his investigation had done as"minimal." Still, she conceded that"at this point, there’s no more documents to be gained from this," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. The requests came from American Oversight and were aimed at procuring documents from Gableman's office, but Vos is the one who hired him, making him liable. Bailey-Rihn previously held Vos in contempt for not producing the records but will decide on penalties for him at a later date. Another hearing has been scheduled for July 28.
