Missouri GOP Gov Refuses To Resign Ahead Of Revenge Porn Trial, Says Mistress Might Have Dreamed It All

CBS News reports:

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens admitted to an extramarital affair but defiantly refused to resign in a statement issued ahead of a special legislative committee issuing an investigative report related to an extramarital affair the Republican engaged in before his election. “I will continue to work for the people of Missouri every day,” Greitens said.

Greitens called the accusations against him a “political witch hunt” and called the affair a “private mistake.” Greitens said he “fully expects” more false accusations to come up, but he insisted that he will be proven innocent.

Greitens also challenged the validity of his accuser’s story, saying, “scenes will be filled with lies that we now know may have come from a dream.” “In 33 days this will all come to a close, because in the United States of America, you get your day in court,” he said.
