A Milwaukee judge charged with obstructing a federal agency and concealing a wanted person who was in the country illegally told police days after the incident in her courtroom that “I didn’t do anything that they’re saying.”
The comments were captured on body camera footage by Milwaukee police at Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan’s home three days before her arrest in April.
Dugan told officers she was not aware of a criminal investigation into her conduct. Police released the redacted video to The Associated Press on Friday.
Dugan has pleaded not guilty and a judge is weighing her motion to dismiss the case.
