Newly released documents show prosecutors believe Gov. Scott Walker was at the center of a nationwide "criminal scheme" to illegally coordinate fundraising with outside conservative groups.

No charges have been filed against Walker or any member of his staff. The documents became public yesterday as part of an ongoing lawsuit challenging the investigation by the conservative group Wisconsin Club for Growth.
