BRILLION, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker says he knows nothing more than what the media’s been reporting about this week’s FBI raid at the home of one of his former top aides.
Agents took a box of evidence Wednesday from Cindy Archer’s Madison home.
The Republican Walker said Friday in Brillion he has not spoken with Archer since the raid – and his office was not told anything about it.
Archer was a top aide to Walker when he was the Milwaukee County executive – and she followed him to Madison in January to become the Number-two person in the administration department. Archer quit that job last month, a day after taking another post as a lower-paid legislative liaison in the Department of Children-and-Families.
She’s been on a personal leave the last few weeks.
Reports say this week’s raid might be connected to an ongoing John Doe investigation into allegations that Milwaukee County employees used their tax-funded offices to campaign for Walker’s gubernatorial bid last year.
Archer denies being involved in that, and said she’s done nothing wrong.
