Eric Greitens announced Wednesday that he’s the target of a “political witch hunt” as he held a news conference before the release of a state House committee’s report on its investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct and blackmail. I want to say again what I said in the beginning: This is a political witch hunt,” Greitens told reporters. The woman claims Greitens took nude photographs of her without her consent and that the governor attempted to blackmail her. The House committee is expected to release its report Wednesday evening. Instead, it was decided to publish an incomplete document made in secret.”Greitens continued to characterize the allegations against him as an “absurd political witch hunt” that dates to the beginning of his political career.
