JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – A judge has rejected a Democratic candidate’s effort
to question U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley over his handling of public records while he
was Missouri attorney general.
Attorney Elad Gross, a candidate for Missouri attorney general, is suing Gov.
Mike Parson’s administration for all communication between the governor’s office
and a nonprofit that supported former Gov. Eric Greitens. He requested a
subpoena so he could question Hawley because he enforced the state’s open
records laws while he was attorney general.
The Kansas City Star reports Cole County Circuit Judge Patricia Joyce quashed
the subpoena Tuesday, saying she found no evidence that Hawley has
non-privileged information relevant to the case.
Hawley’s spokeswoman, Kelli Ford, called the subpoena request “the latest
political stunt” by a Democrat seeking publicity by attacking Hawley.
