CHICAGO (AP) – The scandal that could trigger impeachment proceedings against the Missouri governor has ensnared a St. Louis woman who testified about an affair with Eric Greitens, though she never went to police or sought an investigation.
The woman’s account was made public this week in a report released by lawmakers. It portrays a hairdresser in a rocky marriage whose handsome client bedazzled her with his accomplishments, including a career as a Navy SEAL.
If accurate, her testimony shows her being threatened by one man – Greitens – and betrayed by another – her ex-husband, who gave a TV station a secretly recorded conversation in which she described a sexual encounter with Greitens.
She’s also been drawn into a political process that could invite attacks on her character and credibility.
