Missouri AG demands Gardner resign by noon Thursday or face removal proceedings
February 23, 2023
Many have called the case emblematic of the dysfunction in Gardner's office in St. Louis and some state and local leaders have also called for her resignation.
ST. LOUIS — As a 17-year-old Tennessee girl remains in a St. Louis hospital after a crash, the city's top prosecutor is facing political backlash for her office's response to the incident and the suspect's previous cases.
As of Wednesday evening, the backlash now includes Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey demanding she resign by noon on Thursday or face immediate removal proceedings from his office.
Janae Edmondson and her family were walking back to their hotel in downtown St. Louis Saturday when 21-year-old Daniel Riley sped down St. Charles street, failed to brake, hit several cars and pinned Edmondson. Edmundson was rushed to the hospital for treatment, but her legs had to be amputated.
In the days following the crash, the I-Team learned Riley was out on bond awaiting trial for a 2020 armed robbery at the time of the crash. The I-Team also learned he had violated the terms of his bond at least 50 times, but the circuit attorney's office did not ask for his bond to be revoked.
In response to the ongoing coverage of the case, Gardner's office released the following statement:
“A young girl’s life was tragically changed because of the inexcusable behavior of a young man. Our hearts go out to the victim and her family for this unspeakable tragedy that will undoubtedly have a lasting impact not only on her, but her family and loved ones. It’s unfortunate that there are those who chose to twist the facts to take advantage of this situation for their own selfish motives. This is not the time for finger pointing, it’s time to support this family and ensure that justice is served.”
That statement and the response overall from Gardern's office have elected officials and local leaders from both sides of the aisle responding. Many have called the case emblematic of the dysfunction in Gardner's office and some state and local leaders have also called for her resignation.

Pete Buttigieg finally visits East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment site
February 23, 2023
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg arrived in East Palestine on Thursday to visit the Ohio site where a train carrying hazardous materials derailed nearly three weeks ago — after receiving mounting criticism from residents for not heading there sooner.
Buttigieg showed up just before 8 a.m. at the site of the Feb. 3 derailment, where he is expected to meet with local residents, many of whom are frustrated by the federal response to the derailment and the possibility that they’ve been exposed to toxic materials that will negatively impact their health.
His visit coincides with the National Transportation Safety Board’s plans to release the initial results of its investigation into the Norfolk Southern train’s derailment.
Buttigieg will also receive an update on the NTSB’s probe later in the afternoon.
“This morning I’m in East Palestine, Ohio, to see the site of the Norfolk Southern derailment, hear updates from investigators, and meet first responders. USDOT will continue its work to ensure safety and accountability,” Buttigieg said in a tweet.
Buttigieg has received backlash in recent weeks over his response to the derailment, with critics claiming the Democrat appeared to be blowing off the village’s residents when he said he would visit the accident site “when the time is right.”
The embattled transportation secretary snapped when questioned by a reporter Tuesday about when he would visit East Palestine, telling her he was on “personal time.”
Earlier this week, Buttigieg sent a letter to Norfolk Southern, the train company, detailing how the derailment “has upended the lives of numerous [East Palestine] residents, many of whom continue to worry about their immediate health and safety as well as the long-term effects of the dangerous materials released near their homes.”
The Biden administration has defended its response to the derailment, saying officials from the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Transportation Safety Board and other agencies were at the site of the accident within hours.
The White House says it has also offered federal assistance and FEMA has been coordinating with the state emergency operations center and other partners.
The NTSB report is expected to be released later Thursday.
