Gov. Tony Evers is asking former President Donald Trump and a GOP official who filed lawsuits challenging Wisconsinâs presidential election results to pay at least $250,000 in legal fees to prevent state taxpayers from having to foot the legal costs the governorâs office accrued defending against the lawsuits.
Supporters of President Donald Trump gather at the Wisconsin State Capitol on Friday.
Evers, through his attorneys on Wednesday, filed motions in two cases in federal court brought by Trump and La Crosse County Republican Party chairman William Feehan in the wake of the November presidential election.
Evers called on Trump and Feehan to pay $250,000 in fees, arguing the lawsuits the two Republicans filed were frivolous, based on scant evidence and wasted state taxpayer dollars in having to defend against them.

A member of the SEIU Wisconsin State council filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
It alleges Bill Feehan and 9 others created fraudulent documents and impersonated the state’s presidential electors in December.
It goes on to say the fraudulent electors lied about the outcome of the election, signed documents for candidates who lost Wisconsin’s statewide vote, and then mailed those fraudulent documents to Congress and other state and federal officials apparently intending for the state’s electoral votes to be counted for the candidates they preferred.

ONALASKA, Wis. (WKBT) The La Crosse County Republican Party has unanimously elected Bill Feehan as chairman for a fifth two-year term at the head of the group.
The local branch of the GOP held its annual caucus Saturday in Onalaska. In addition to choosing its leadership, the La Crosse County Republicans approved a resolution asking the Wisconsin state legislature to “investigate irregularities in the November 3, 2020” and pass election law reforms.
“What happened in November can’t be changed, but we can determine what went wrong and fix it for future elections. Now we look ahead to electing a Republican governor and the important congressional midterms in 2022.” Feehan said.
