Josh Hawley promised Missourians he’d clean up corruption in Jefferson City, but there’s mounting evidence he’s done anything but as he faces several ethics complaints and criticism for a sham investigation into the governor’s use of an encrypted texting app. Hawley – who took nearly $50,000 from the governor during his 2016 run for attorney general – is earning well-deserved scrutiny for mishandling the case, leading the Kansas City Star to conclude: “Missourians can’t trust Hawley.”
From Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Spokesman David Bergstein: “What’s worse than Josh Hawley not doing his job? Protecting a donor who is already under indictment. The governor’s use of a secret texting app demands more scrutiny than Hawley cared to provide and Missourians are right to wonder if Hawley gave the governor – who donated nearly $50,000 – a break he does not deserve.”
