Robin Vos, the Republican speaker of Wisconsin's state assembly, announced Friday that he had fired the man he had hired to investigate false claims of voter fraud in the state.
Vos was pressured last year into hiring Michael Gableman, a former justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, by former President Donald Trump and his allies to investigate claims of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

"For those like me who remain concerned about ensuring we have election integrity, we have a simple solution; to focus on our efforts to elect a Republican governor in November so we can pass the bills that were vetoed by Governor [Tony] Evers."
Vos fired Gableman by letter and told WISN-TV that he had not spoken with the retired justice in recent weeks, who he said "did a good job last year" but "kind of got off the rails this year."

The lawmaker said in an interview Wednesday with The Jay Webber Show, a conservative talk radio program, that he gave Gableman "very clear direction" for the investigation including that he could not be involved in politics or go to rallies and that he "broke that."
