Missouri attorney general investigating former top general

Newly obtained records show that the Missouri attorney general
is investigating whether the longtime former top general of the Missouri
National Guard "misused his office."

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that documents obtained through an open
records request show that the investigation centers on whether two-star general
Stephen Danner pressured state officials to award about $14 million in
low-income housing tax credits to a nonprofit foundation that contracted with a
real estate business that was co-owned by his son.

Danner retired from the Guard in August, shortly after the Post-Dispatch
revealed the connection between the Missouri National Guard Foundation, which
was founded under his watch, and his son's company.
