Ethics complaint filed against pro-Greitens organizations

Rep. Jay Barnes (R-Jefferson City), the former chairman of the House committee that investigated accusations against former Gov. Eric Greitens, filed a complaint with the Missouri Ethics Commission against Greitens and other groups for alleged campaign finance crimes.

“The disgraced former governor and his henchmen cannot be allowed to escape accountability for their alleged illegal actions,” said Rep. Gina Mitten (D-St. Louis), who was a member of the committee before it was disbanded following Greitens’ resignation.

The complaint follows Barnes’ June public letter to committee members, where he stated there was “‘good cause to believe Greitens engaged in multiple acts constituting crimes.”
