Wisconsin lawmakers face criminal charges
Republicans: For the second day in a row, prosecutors filed criminal charges today accusing legislative leaders in Wisconsin of misconduct in office. This time it was Republicans in the Assembly, charged with illegally running campaign operations from state offices, using government employees.
Democrats: Charles Chvala, a Democrat who was charged on Thursday with 20 felony counts, including extorting lobbyists
for campaign contributions, will be replaced as Senate majority leader when his caucus meets on Monday.
