Scott Walker is on the prosecution witness list for a second criminal trial of one of his top aides.

[midnight]

Prosecutors may call Gov. Scott Walker as a witness in an embezzlement case involving Timothy D. Russell, a former top aide while Walker was Milwaukee County executive.

It's the second criminal case in which Walker has been listed as a possible witness that grew from a secret John Doe probe that is focused on Walker aides and associates. Prosecutors previously named Walker to a witness list in the Oct. 15 felony misconduct trial of Kelly M. Rindfleisch. She is accused of doing campaign work while at her taxpayer-paid county job in Walker's county executive office.

Russell worked as Walker's deputy chief of staff and housing director; Rindfleisch succeeded Russell as deputy chief of staff.

Michael Steinle, a lawyer hired by Walker in connection with the John Doe, did not immediately return a call for comment. Walker has said he is not a target of the investigation.
