Grand jury investigating Missouri governors affair, lawyer says [View all]
The man whose then-wife had an affair with Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens has been subpoenaed to testify before a St. Louis grand jury, the man's attorney said Monday.
"It's been stepped up a notch," attorney Al Watkins said. "It means a grand jury is seated and is hearing evidence about the investigation against Gov. Greitens."
He declined to say when his client will testify.
Greitens, a Republican, admitted on Jan. 10 to a monthslong affair with his St. Louis hairdresser in 2015, before he was governor. The woman's ex-husband secretly recorded a conversation with her in which she claimed that Greitens took a compromising photo as potential blackmail if she spoke about the relationship.
Greitens has repeatedly denied threatening to blackmail the woman. He has not answered directly when asked if he took a photo.
A spokeswoman for the St. Louis circuit attorney's office declined to confirm or deny if a grand jury is investigating.
