St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner turned over concealed records to Just the News under court order, revealing new details about her office's ethically tarnished prosecution of Eric Greitens, including alleged victim's concern that topless photo allegedly used to extort her might not exist.

The memos show Gardner received derogatory information early in the investigation from:

Jeff Smith, the head of a Missouri housing trade group that supported low-income housing tax credits that Greitens halted while governor. Al Watkins, the lawyer for Katrina Sneed’s estranged husband Philip Sneed, a radio talk show host in Missouri. The records show that Watkins first approached prosecutors with evidence of the Greitens affair in January 2018, just a few days after his client, Philip Sneed, had received two $50,000 payments from Missouri Times newspaper publisher Scott Faughn and a man identified only in court records as “Skylar.”

The payments, identified in a Missouri Legislature report, have long been a mystery in the Greitens saga.
