The FBI is preparing to interview multiple Milwaukee Police Department officers as part of its investigation into Wisconsin’s 2020 election, according to sources cited by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The interviews, which could begin as soon as next week, are expected to focus on officers stationed at Milwaukee’s central count facility and polling places on Election Night. Investigators are reportedly examining an incident involving former Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall, who briefly left a flash drive inside a voting machine.
Federal agents have also spoken with Wisconsin Elections Commission Deputy Administrator Robert Kehoe, attempted to question a top Milwaukee County election official at her home, and contacted at least two individuals involved in administering Milwaukee’s 2020 election.
Milwaukee’s 2020 ballots still exist despite standard retention timelines, partly due to ongoing litigation brought by a New London man who sued state and local election officials over issues tied to the 2020 election.
