More GOP lawmakers ask Missouri governor to resign

ST. LOUIS (AP) – The Latest on Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens’ admission that he had an extramarital affair (all times local):

Several Republican lawmakers want Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens to resign after acknowledging he had an extramarital affair.

House members Kathie Conway, Steve Cookson, Marsha Haefner and Nate Walker all released statements Tuesday saying Greitens should consider stepping aside.

The Republican governor has given no indication of resigning and has remained out of the public eye since acknowledging late Wednesday that he had been “unfaithful” to his wife. His attorney has denied more lurid allegations related to the affair.

Walker was an early supporter of Greitens during his gubernatorial campaign. But Walker says the scandal doesn’t appear to be going away and Greitens should resign “so that that the state can move forward.”

Several Democratic lawmakers also have called for Greitens’ resignation.
