New Emails Shed Light On Walker Campaign Amid Legal Probe
By DYLAN SCOTT Published AUGUST 23, 2014, 9:49 AM EDT
Court documents released Friday provided new details on Gov. Scott Walker's recall campaign, including some insight into the role of the governor himself, as prosecutors probe whether the campaign illegally worked with outside groups.
Court documents filed by prosecutors back in June placed Walker at the center of a "criminal scheme" in which his campaign illegally coordinated with as many as 12 outside conservative groups in 2011 and 2012. They later said that Walker was "not a target of the investigation," but the legal probe into the campaign has continued.
The New York Times reported Friday on newly released emails from the investigation. In particular, the emails point to the Walker campaign's close relationship with the Wisconsin chapter of the conservative mega-group Club for Growth.
“Stress that donations to WiCFG are not disclosed and can accept corporate donations without limits,” said one alleged 2011 email to Walker from adviser Kelly Rindfleisch as he prepared for a fundraising trip. “Let them know that you can accept corporate contributions and it is not reported.”
