Missouri Governor Accused Of New Felony, After Allegations Of Assault And Blackmail
Eric Greitens was already under pressure to step down over allegations of sexual assault and privacy violation. Now Missouri's attorney general wants him to be charged over his campaign practices.
Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, already facing one felony charge for invasion of privacy, as well as allegations of sexual assault and blackmail, could potentially be charged with a separate felony for his campaign practices when he ran for office.
Greitens calls the suggestion of a new charge "ridiculous." He vigorously denies all allegations of criminal activity — consistently saying his only wrongdoing was a consensual affair — and has refused to resign, despite calls from state lawmakers.
