Gov. Greitens Files Restraining Order Against Missouri AG Hawley

JEFFERSON CITY, MO — Eric Greitens, the Republican governor of Missouri, has filed a restraining order against Josh Hawley, that state's Attorney General. Hawley, who is also a Republican, has been a vocal critic of the governor since allegations of sexual assault and invasion of privacy came to light in February.

Hawley also announced yesterday that his office had uncovered evidence of a crime in Greitens' use of a charity donor list to raise money for his gubernatorial campaign.

Dozens of Missouri lawmakers, Democrat and Republican alike, have called on the governor to resign. Greitens wrote on Twitter Tuesday that he has no intention of doing so.

I will not be resigning the Governor's office. In three weeks, this matter will go to a court of law—where it belongs and where the facts will prove my innocence. Until then, I will do what the people of Missouri sent me here to do: to serve them and work hard on their behalf.
