Walker Claims Election Tampering

Former GOP Congressional candidate Derek Walker says he's planning to file federal election tampering charges against a political rival and law enforcement officials.
Five days before the April 22 primary, charges of stalking and burglary, among others, were filed against Walker in connection with an incident involving his former girlfriend. Earlier this week, Walker pleaded guilty to 4 misdemeanor charges; the felony charges were all dropped. Walker says the charges brought against him were part of a political conspiracy, and he has the evidence to prove it. He says Clearfield County District Attorney Bill Shaw, Clearfield Police Chief James Schilling and Matt Shaner, another of the 8 Republicans running for the 5th District Congressional seat, smeared his name and tampered with a federal election. He claims the three worked together to bring the charges to light. Walker says he pleaded guilty to the misdemeanors, because it was best for everyone involved. He admits to being guilty of an immature moment. Walker says these charges should be officially filed sometime in the next few weeks.
