JEFFERSON CITY • Embattled Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens is spending an estimated $50,000 on a statewide radio ad buy this week to tell voters he’s not backing down from the scandal that has clouded his political future.

Greitens’ political adviser Austin Chambers confirmed to the Post-Dispatch Wednesday night that the ad buy would make a case for the first-term governor to continue in office despite the criminal indictment he faces for allegedly photographing a woman he was having an affair with in 2015 without her consent.

Greitens, a Republican, has refused calls by fellow GOP lawmakers in the Missouri Legislature to resign and has hired a legal team to defend him in a case that is set to go before a jury on May 14.

The governor has kept a low profile in recent weeks. Aides did not respond to questions from the Post-Dispatch about the governor’s activities Wednesday.

3. Where is the money coming from?

Is this taxpayer money he is spending?

4. Another question should be

Is he using state property to confer with his attorneys or campaign staff?
