Jefferson City, MO (KTRS) Governor Eric Greitens is firing back at accusations of criminal wrongdoing with his charity, the Mission Continues.
Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley announced during a press conference on Tuesday that his office has recovered evidence that Greitens may have broken the law.
“Mr. Greitens obtained an electronic donor list created by The Mission Continues for that organization’s internal purposes,” Hawley said. “Mr. Greitens used that list for political fundraising he transmitted that list for political fundraising without permission of The Mission Continues.”
Greitens released the following statement in response:
“Fortunately for Josh, he’s better at press conferences than the law. Anyone who has set foot in a Missouri courtroom knows these allegations are ridiculous. Josh has turned the ‘evidence’ he claims to have over to St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner — a liberal prosecutor funded by George Soros who allegedly suborned perjury, falsified documents, and withheld evidence. We will dispense with these false allegations.”
Hawley said his office does not have jurisdiction to bring charges against the Governor. He instead turned over the information to the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office because St. Louis is where the alleged crime took place.
