RILEY VETTERKIND 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.
