Missouri’s Republican-held House and Senate called a special session to consider impeaching embattled GOP Gov. Eric Greitens. The decision Thursday comes amid mounting pressure on the governor to resign over criminal charges that he tied up and photographed an undressed woman with whom he was having an affair, without having obtained her consent. He has also been charged with felony computer tampering over his alleged use of a charity donor list during his 2016 campaign. His trial begins in St. Louis on May 14.
