Eric Greitens are pushing for a police investigation into the prosecutor’s office for alleged misconduct during her handling the governor’s felony invasion of privacy case, The Associated Press reported on Tuesday. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, the prosecutor, dropped charges against Greitens on Monday after a judge ruled the defense would be allowed to call Gardner to the witness stand during the trial. Greitens’ lawyers claim Gardner allowed a private investigator to commit perjury and withhold evidence from defense attorneys, according to the AP. Ed Dowd, one of Greitens’ attorneys, told the AP that the legal team would be filing a report with the St. Louis police over the alleged misconduct. Greitens’ criminal charge stemmed from an admitted 2015 extramarital affair with his hairdresser, an unidentified woman who claims her encounters with him weren’t always consensual.
