KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens is scheduled to testify Wednesday in his ongoing child custody dispute with his ex-wife Sheena Greitens.
At a court hearing in Columbia on Friday, Boone County Associate Circuit Judge Leslie Schneider ruled that she will oversee a deposition hearing in the case at 11 a.m. Wednesday. The ruling means that attorneys for both parties will be able to question Eric and Sheena Greitens under oath. However, the hearing will be behind closed doors instead of a public trial.
Helen Wade, the lawyer for Sheena Greitens, likely will ask the former governor about allegations that he abused his ex-wife and their young children in 2018. It could expose damaging information about the U.S. Senate candidate just weeks before the Republican primary on Aug. 2.
