ST. LOUIS (AP) A spokeswoman for St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner says Gardner is “not playing political games” when it comes to the indictment of Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens.
Spokeswoman Susan Ryan on Friday issued a statement in response Greitens’ claim that his indictment on one felony count of invasion of privacy was politically motivated. Greitens is a Republican and Gardner a Democrat.
Ryan says the “personal attacks” by Greitens are disappointing, but won’t detract Gardner “from her duty to serve justice and the citizens of this community.”
Greitens is accused of taking a compromising photo of a woman with whom he was having an affair in 2015, before he was governor, without her permission. He has admitted to the affair but denied criminal wrongdoing.
