Governing: Gov. Eric Greitens' office illegally hired two private attorneys to help fend off impeachment, Attorney General Josh Hawley said Friday in a letter to the state auditor.
The attorneys, Hawley wrote, who "purport to represent the Office of Governor at taxpayer expense are acting without authority under Missouri law."
Greitens' office pushed back hard against the attorney general's letter, saying Hawley "has his facts wrong" and adding that "the Governor's adversaries would no doubt like to deprive the Governor's office of counsel."
