House committee subpoenas bank for financial records tied to Greitens nonprofit
The Missouri House committee investigating Gov. Eric Greitens has subpoenaed financial records from an Illinois bank related to a nonprofit founded by Greitens' political team.
Court records filed in Cole County reveal that the House committee has demanded that Carrollton Bank provide all records relating to the nonprofit, A New Missouri Inc., which was formed in early 2017 to advocate for the governor's agenda.The subpoena also asks the bank to turn over all records relating to a committee for a New Missouri Inc., which was created in late 2016 to raise money for Greitens’ inauguration.
Both groups allowed Greitens' team to raise anonymous donations from individuals and corporations. The governor's reliance on so-called "dark money" contributions has drawn public condemnation for secrecy, even from some of Greitens’ fellow Republicans, although the practice is legal.
The bank’s CEO, Tom Hough, confirmed Monday that the bank received a subpoena from the House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight.
