The agreement to dismiss a felony computer-tampering charge against former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) included a secret provision in which the outgoing governor admitted that prosecutors had enough evidence for the case to go to a jury, the Kansas City Star reports.

Greitens agreed to resign as part of an agreement negotiated late last month with St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner.

Scandal-plagued Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) announced that he will resign from office after being subpoenaed to testify before an impeachment committee over allegations including sexual misconduct and misuse of charity donor lists for his political campaign.

His resignation will be effective on June 1 at 5 p.m.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “Word of the announcement came after damaging testimony by a former campaign aide and a ruling by a judge forcing Greitens’ team to reveal fundraising information.”

Embattled Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) “has purchased at least $185,000 in television ads — set to begin airing this week — in a year when he is not on the ballot,” the Kansas City Star reports.

“Greitens’ campaign purchased the television air time as Missouri lawmakers are holding a special session to weigh whether to impeach the Republican governor.”

“Greitens has been hounded since January by allegations that he photographed a woman while she was bound and partly nude to keep her from speaking about an extramarital affair in 2015.”

Meanwhile, Democrats are running their own ads linking Grietens with U.S. Senate candidate Josh Hawley (R).

FBI agents have been questioning Missouri lawmakers about possible coercive tactics by associates of Gov. Eric Greitens (R), as the state legislature is set to consider impeaching the embattled governor, CNN reports.

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) “used an app that erases text messages to communicate with his taxpayer-funded staff, although he denies any suggestion that doing so violated Missouri’s open records laws,” the Kansas City Star reports.

“In a stunning development, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner on Monday dropped her prosecution of Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens in the face of the defense team’s plan to call her to the stand,” the Kansas City Star reports.

Gardner said the move came after the judge agreed to a request by Greitens to call Gardner herself as a witness. She said the decision put her in an “impossible position” in which she would be “subject to cross-examination” by members of her own office.

Gardner’s office asked the court “to appoint a special prosecutor to refile the felony invasion-of-privacy charge against the governor.”

A woman with whom Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) acknowledged having a consensual affair told prosecutors that Greitens coaxed her into unwanted sexual activity as she was crying “like a wounded little animal on the ground, according to a legislative report that accuses the governor of mischaracterizing the woman’s testimony, the AP reports.

“The brief, graphic report from a special House investigatory committee is intended as a rebuttal to Greitens, who had asserted that the video interview of the woman ‘undermined the narrative’ of an earlier House report detailing the woman’s allegations that Greitens had been physically aggressive toward her.”

St. Louis Post Dispatch: “The report also included allegations the future chief executive, who ran on a family values platform, had spanked, slapped and shoved the woman during a series of sexual encounters that at times left her frightened and crying.”
