McGee arrested in federal case

Ald. Michael McGee was arrested Monday by Milwaukee police on a case that is being jointly investigated by federal and state authorities, officials said tonight.


McGee is under investigation for potential public corruption charges, according to sources familiar with the probe, which has been placed under seal. Further details are expected tomorrow when U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic and Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm are expected to hold a joint news conference.

It was unclear where and under what circumstances McGee was arrested, but the sources said the arrest was made earlier than planned because investigators suspected the potential for violence.
Geezoman. I can't wait hear what this is all about.

Apparently it is not business as usual for the DA's office since E. Mike retired. John Chisholm may have a lot of Milwaukee politicians shaking in their boots.
