Wisconsin Supreme Court to take up some Governor Walker related John Doe cases

MADISON - The Wisconsin Supreme Court has agreed to hear three cases stemming from a John Doe investigation of fundraising and spending by Gov. Scott Walker's campaign and conservative groups backing him.

The court on Tuesday accepted a legal challenge from two targets of the probe; a separate lawsuit from those two targets and another; and an action by special prosecutor Francis Schmitz to try to reinstate subpoenas that were quashed by the judge overseeing the investigation.

The court put off accepting a fourth lawsuit by a group challenging the campaign finance laws that are at the heart of the investigation.
