Investigators to brief Wisconsin Guard leader on sex probe
Federal investigators plan to brief the Wisconsin National Guard's top commander this weekend on findings from a seven-month review of the Guard's sexual assault reporting and investigation protocols, Gov. The governor said in his letter that officials from the National Guard Bureau's Office of Complex Investigations briefed him on their findings on Nov. 25. Evers and Baldwin, both Democrats, stepped in and demanded that the National Guard Bureau conduct the review. Wisconsin National Guard spokesman Joe Trovato declined comment, saying only that no one in the Guard has seen the OCI report or been briefed on it. The Wisconsin National Guard reached an agreement with the state Justice Department under then-Attorney General Brad Schimel in 2018 that allows the Guard to ask the department to investigate sexual assault complaints.
