Gov. Scott Walker has been subpoenaed to testify next week in the misconduct trial involving one of his former aides in Milwaukee County.
….”Some states have statutes that grant immunity to governors so that they cannot be called to testify in legal proceedings ? Indiana, for example. But most do not,” said Karl Shoemaker, UW-Madison associate professor of history and law. “Any witness retains, of course, the right to refuse to answer questions on grounds recognized under existing law ? for example, if testimony is covered by attorney-client privilege, or the 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination.”
