Sen. Ron Johnson asks DOJ to investigate Wisconsin judge in former Trump attorney’s case
Sen. Ron Johnson alleges judicial misconduct and bias in a felony case against Trump's former lawyer and urges DOJ to examine the impartiality of Dane County Judge John Hyland.
- On Dec. 12, 2025, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson asked U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi to review allegations about Dane County Judge John Hyland overseeing Jim Troupis's felony case and to determine if wrongdoing occurred.
- After hiring a Georgetown linguistics professor, the defense argued the August order denying motions to dismiss resembled retired Dane County Judge Frank Remington's writing and involved Remington's son, a law clerk for Judge John Hyland.
- Judge John Hyland refuted the claims and said he and his law clerk alone wrote the order, writing `Nothing in his submissions support this claim`, while Frank Remington, retired Dane County Judge, denied ghostwriting any decisions.
- Johnson said Troupis is the victim of blatant political bias, writing that his role for Trump has led to ongoing political persecutions, and the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- Troupis faces felony forgery charges tied to Jan. 6, 2021; prosecutors say he and two others defrauded the 10 Wisconsin Republican electors, and a Georgia case was dropped earlier last month.
