A bipartisan ethics commission in Wisconsin on Friday recommended felony charges against one arm of Donald Trump's fundraising operation and other Republicans for a scheme they say was intended to skirt campaign finance laws and take down a powerful Republican lawmaker who distanced himself from the former president, the Washington Post reports. The referrals for prosecution, first reported by WisPolitics, were made public Friday and mark another legal trouble for Trump, who currently faces nearly 100 felony charges in four cases in state and local jurisdictions.
The Wisconsin Ethics Commission's investigation revolves around the 2022 primary race between Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, one of the state's most powerful Republicans, and political newcomer Adam Steen, who allied with the former president.
