A Dane County judge has rejected Jim Troupis’ motion to force him off a felony fraud case stemming from the 2020 election, shooting down the former Donald Trump attorney’s claims that the judge had committed misconduct.
Judge John Hyland yesterday rebuffed Troupis’ claim that retired Judge Frank Remington had a hand in writing all or parts of an August ruling rejecting a motion to dismiss the case. He also found Troupis offered no evidence that he had any personal bias against the GOP attorney.
In motions filed Monday, Troupis wanted the entire Dane County bench disqualified because they have a personal animus toward him. He also wanted a Monday preliminary hearing called off and for a judge in another county to hear his claims that Remington was involved in the Aug. 22 order.
Hyland rejected all of the requests.
