    In November Senator-elect told me a report about political consultants directing his AG office is “...one of the most absurdly, false stories that I've ever read” showing the data that proves it.

    ICYMI: Nov. 2 Josh Hawley told a TV reporter that a KC Star story about how political operatives steered the AG's office was false, while avoiding me as I waited outside his campaign bus. But records from his office make it clear the story was all too true

    Josh Hawley's office released records today that showed political operatives directed attorney general staff (Hawley said no one ran the office but him) and that staff used private emails for public business (he didn't like it when Hillary Clinton did it).
