COLUMBIA, Mo. — An attorney for former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens on Tuesday sought to use a court hearing to advance the idea that allegations of abusive behavior by Greitens are part of a political conspiracy against him — an accusation flatly denied by an attorney for his ex-wife, Sheena Greitens.
At the Boone County courthouse, Eric Greitens’ attorney Gary Stamper told Associated Circuit Judge Leslie Schneider that he is seeking the cellphone records of Sheena Greitens and two other people to “confirm a sad suspicion.”
Stamper said he wanted to determine whether someone provided journalists with an affidavit signed by Sheena Greitens last month accusing Eric Greitens, now a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, of abuse before the document was accepted by a court clerk.
