Former aide to Wisconsin governor charged with fraud (Reuters)

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) ? The Milwaukee County District Attorney charged a former aide to Republican Governor Scott Walker on Thursday with fraud.

The complaint accused Tim Russell, who worked closely with Walker when he was Milwaukee County Executive, of embezzling thousands of dollars from a fund intended for the families of Wisconsin soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Two other men also faced other charges linked to the case.
