New documents show Ron Johnson's office was told Jan. 6 documents were about fake electors

Source: CBS 58, Milwaukee

Documents released this week as part of a lawsuit settlement reveal new communications indicating Sen. Ron Johnson and his top aide were told papers sent to his office on Jan. 6 had to do with Wisconsin's presidential electors.

For years, Johnson has downplayed his knowledge about the effort to deliver fake documents to then-Vice President Mike Pence pledging electoral votes for Donald Trump from seven states, including Wisconsin.

The newly released records include communications from Jim Troupis, who was Trump's lawyer in Wisconsin during the 2020 recount and subsequent effort to throw out more than 200,000 absentee votes from Milwaukee and Dane counties.

Previous document dumps, including those from the House Jan. 6 committee, indicated Johnson had pushed for the state Legislature to get involved and pick the state's electors. Those records also indicated Johnson connected Troupis to his staff.

what he knew and when he knew it.

Recall efforts so rarely work, but I think this one might just stick depending on what happens in November in WI.
