MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -
A subpoena for Governor Scott
Walker's testimony in an upcoming criminal trial of one of his former
aides has been submitted to a Milwaukee County court.
Clerk Gina Barron for Judge David Hanscher tells Newsline 9 sister station WKOW that the subpoena was submitted to the court Friday.
Barron says the subpoena documents show the subpoena was served on Walker's attorney, Michael Steinle.
Steinle has yet to return a call from 27 News seeking comment.
Walker was previously identified by a
prosecutor as a potential witness in the October 15 trial of Kelly
Rindfleisch in Hanscher's court.
Authorities say Rindfleisch committed misconduct
by working on campaign activities in 2010, while at her government job
as deputy chief of staff for Walker when Walker was Milwaukee
County executive.
Authorities say Rindfleisch exchanged dozens of
emails with others on behalf of the campaign of lieutenant governor
candidate Brett Davis, who is now state medicaid director under Walker.
Authorities also say Rindfleisch used a secret
email system, with records of emails unknown to county custodians of
such records.
Rindfleish's attorney, Franklyn Gimbel, and
assistant Milwaukee County District Attorney Bruce Landgraf have yet to
return calls from 27 News seeking comment on the subpoena served on
Walker's attorney for the governor's court appearance to testify.
