as President Donald Trump to denounce accusations of unwanted sexual aggression.But reaction from his fellow Republicans indicates Greitens may have a more difficult time than Trump surviving politically.

Greitens is a former Rhodes Scholar, Navy SEAL officer, author and
motivational speaker who ran for office on a pledge to clean up corruption.
A report released by a legislative committee investigating Greitens detailed testimony from a woman who said Greitens slapped, grabbed, shoved and threatened her during unwanted sexual encounters.
Greitens denies any violence or criminal wrongdoing in what he insists was a consensual relationship with the woman before he became governor.
