(AP) – The political future of Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens
faces a big test when a special legislative committee issues its investigative report related to an extramarital affair the Republican had.Greitens also faces a pending criminal trial on a felony indictment in St.
Louis for allegedly taking a compromising photo of the woman without her
permission and an investigation by the state’s attorney general into the
activities of a veterans charity he founded.

The investigations have created governing challenges and uncertainty for the former Navy SEAL officer once considered presidential material.

A Greitens spokesman says the administration is “operating as normal.” But
Republican political consultant John Hancock says the scandal has had a
debilitating effect on Greitens.
