The state's bipartisan ethics commission in Wisconsin has recommended felony charges against Donald Trump's Save America Joint Fundraising Committee for allegedly bypassing campaign finance limits. This newest development adds to the 91 felony charges Trump is already facing in criminal cases across multiple states in connection to his political and business dealings. According to WisPolitics, the fundraising effort targeted Republican state assembly speaker, Robin Vos, during a 2022 primary challenge where Vos was the longest-serving assembly speaker in the state's history.

The commission alleges that Adam Steen, Vos's primary challenger, coordinated with state Republican party chapters to circumvent Wisconsin's $1,000 limit on individual campaign donations by funneling earmarked donations through county parties, which have no campaign spending restrictions. This effort reportedly generated over $40,000 to benefit Vos's opponent.

State representative Janel Brandtjen, known for her support of Trump's election fraud claims, was also implicated in the scheme. Brandtjen allegedly helped coordinate donations earmarked for Steen's campaign from the Save America committee into multiple Republican party county chapters.

Despite the fundraising efforts, Vos narrowly survived the primary challenge from Steen, who had Trump's endorsement but lost by a slim margin of 260 votes. Current election-denying activists are now reportedly backing a recall campaign against Vos, with the involvement of national figures like MyPillow CEO, Mike Lindell.

Lindell, who was investigated for a $4,000 donation to a county party but not charged due to insufficient evidence, has been vocal about Vos's actions regarding election security. The campaign to recall Vos is still underway, gathering petition signatures and gaining attention from supporters of the Maga movement, including conspiracy theorists.
