Greitens Lied About ‘Off-the-Books’ Campaign

Gov. Eric Greitens (R) “ran an off-the-books political campaign as early as 2014, took a charity donor list to raise campaign funds and ultimately lied about that list in a signed statement to the state’s ethics commission,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

“The findings are outlined in a 23-page report released Wednesday by a Missouri House committee investigating Greitens… The report contains evidence that Greitens and associates lied in campaign filings, a class A misdemeanor, and violated campaign finance law — a civil offense — when he operated a shadow campaign a year before filing required paperwork with election authorities.”

Kansas City Star: “It represents the latest in a growing set of accusations of criminal misconduct by Greitens, who is already facing two felony charges in St. Louis and calls for his impeachment in Jefferson City.”
