The Missouri Supreme Court on Friday affirmed a lower court’s ruling that ordered St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner to turnover nearly three years’ worth of communication records.
under Missouri law in 2019 seeking communications records between Gardner’s office and Soros, the Soros Fund Management, and Soros’ Open Society Foundation in connection with Gardner’s prosecution of former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens in 2018.“all calendar entries, phone messages, text messages, emails, encrypted app chats, letter correspondence[,] and long-distance toll records” Gardner made from January 6, 2017, through July 3, 2019.
Gardner failed to comply with Solomon’s initial request, which forced Solomon to take his fight through the judiciary. Solomon’s lawsuit alleged that Gardner’s refusal was a purposeful violation of the law and sought the release of the records, civil penalties, and attorneys’ fees, according to Just the News.
“We have been fighting alongside John Solomon for nearly three years to obtain public records showing Kimberly Gardner’s communications with liberal megadonor George Soros,” Southeastern Legal Foundation general counsel Kimberly Hermann said. “Gardner has exhausted her appeals and our legal win is now final. We look forward to receiving all of the records and releasing them to the public.”
Gardner launched a politically charged investigation into Greitens in 2018 after the former governor was accused of having an affair and blackmailing the woman with compromising photos while in office. Instead of having the St. Louis Police Department investigate these allegations, Gardner hired former FBI agent William Tisaby to conduct the investigation.
