Missouri legislative panel sets rules for impeachment consideration of Gov. Greitens

A Missouri legislative panel considering whether to try to impeach Governor Eric Greitens has endorsed rules that would prohibit Greitens' attorneys from cross-examining witnesses.
 
Greitens' lawyers expressed concern Tuesday that the rules could undermine public confidence in the legislative process. The rules endorsed by the House panel still need final approval from the full chamber.
 
In the meantime, the House committee plans to publicly read aloud the criminal court testimony of a woman who had an affair with Greitens. The woman has accused Greitens of taking an unwanted picture of her while she was partially naked and of coercing her into sexual activity. Her grand jury testimony and depositions have not previously been released.
 
Greitens has acknowledged an affair but denied criminal wrongdoing.

First District State Representative Allen Andrews, a Republican from Grant City, says he has faith in the work the legislative panel is conducting.

Andrews adds no timetable has been set to bring back the full House of Representatives to review the legislative panel's findings.
