A former Wisconsin state Supreme Court justice who spread election conspiracies
and led an investigation into President Donald Trump’s 2020 loss in the swing state
agreed Monday to surrender his law license to settle multiple misconduct violations.
The state Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a 10-count complaint in November
against #Michael #Gableman, accusing him of misconduct during the probe.
The state Supreme Court ultimately could revoke Gableman’s law license,
although the court rarely administers such a harsh punishment against wayward attorneys.

The OLR and Gableman filed a stipulation with the Supreme Court on Monday
in which they agreed an appropriate sanction would be suspending Gableman’s license for three years.
A referee overseeing the case and the Supreme Court must approve the agreement before it can take effect.
Gableman acknowledged in the filing that the complaint provides “an adequate factual basis”
and that he couldn’t successfully defend himself against the allegations.
