A grand jury indicted Greitens on a felony invasion-of-privacy charge last month related to a 2015 affair. He allegedly took a nonconsensual photo of the woman, who was at least partially nude.
The Democratic Senate Majority PAC already is trying to tie Hawley to Greitens with ads launched this month.
