AMissouri judge has ordered that a George Soros-backed prosecutor hand over documents to Just the News related to the bungled prosecution of former Missouri Republican Gov. Eric Greitens.
St. Louis City Circuit Judge Jason Sengheiser ordered St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner to supply Just the News Editor-in-Chief and CEO John Solomon with a trove of documents she had withheld citing privilege claims after a judge ordered her in January to comply with an open-records request.
Gardner was one of the first prosecutors to receive significant funding from left-wing megadonor George Soros.
The Missouri Bar's ethics department has formally accused Gardner of misconduct in the Greitens prosecution, recommending professional reprimand of the Circuit Attorney in a 73-page complaint alleging that she withheld and misrepresented evidence and allowed her chief investigator to perjure himself.
The Wednesday ruling in the open records case is the latest development in a yearslong court battle over Solomon's efforts to secure documents related to the Greitens case.
