A Dane County judge has fined special counsel Michael Gableman $2,000 a day for ignoring open records requests from a liberal watchdog group.
Judge Frank Remington found Gableman in contempt last week after the former state Supreme Court justice refused to answer questions.
Gableman was heard making sarcastic comments about the judge and inappropriate comments about an attorney for American Oversight, the group seeking the records.
Judge Remington ordered a transcript for the hearing to be forwarded to the Office of Lawyer Regulation for what he called “appropriate disciplinary action.”
Gableman could face discipline for his comments.
He has been overseeing the review of Wisconsin’s 2020 presidential election.
