ST. LOUIS (AP) – Attorneys for Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens say the felony
invasion-of-privacy case against him was crumbling under a lack of evidence and
they doubt any charge will be refiled.
But the St. Louis circuit attorney’s office says it still plans to pursue the
case, either through a special prosecutor or an appointed assistant.
Prosecutors alleged Greitens took a revealing photo of a woman with whom he
has acknowledged having an affair. They dropped the charge Monday.
The Republican still faces other problems. Missouri’s Republican legislative
leaders say they still will convene Friday in a monthlong special session to
consider whether to impeach Greitens.
Greitens also remains charged with a felony in St. Louis for allegedly
disclosing a donor list from a veterans’ charity he founded for use in his
political campaign.
