MADISON, Wis. — A federal judge hearing President Donald Trump’s lawsuit seeking to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s win in Wisconsin says that the president’s request to “remand” the case to the GOP-controlled Legislature to pick new electors was “bizarre.”
The federal case is one of two Trump has in Wisconsin making similar arguments.
He filed another one in state court, which the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear before it first goes through lower courts. Trump is pursuing that case in circuit court.
U.S. District Judge Brett Ludwig, a Trump appointee, scheduled a Thursday hearing in the lawsuit, while also questioning key points the president raised.
A Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge scheduled a Thursday afternoon for the lawsuit Trump’s campaign re-filed in Dane and Milwaukee County circuit courts after the state Supreme Court refused to hear it.
