Perjury trial nears for investigator in Greitens case

Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Jury selection begins Thursday in St. Louis in the perjury and evidence tampering trial of the man whose investigation played a key role in former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens' 2018 resignation, just as Greitens is running for U.S. Senate amid allegations of abuse from his ex-wife.

Private investigator William Tisaby was indicted in 2019 on six counts of perjury and one count of evidence tampering, crimes prosecutors say he committed while investigating allegations that Greitens took a compromising photo of a woman and threatened to use it as blackmail. Jury selection is expected to take two days, with testimony scheduled to start Monday.
