Milwaukee Attorneys Seek Questioning Of Dolan

NEW YORK (CBS 2/1010 WINS) – Attorneys in Milwaukee are seeking to bring New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan back to Milwaukee for questioning in an ongoing lawsuit.

The lawsuit is about missing church funds at Dolan's former diocese. The archdiocese there now is accused of hiding as much as $130 million in assets to avoid paying out sex abuse settlements.
