Eric Greitens speaking

Greitens announced that he was running for the Republican primary in March 2021.

The former Missouri governor resigned in 2018 after he was accused of sexual misconduct and blackmail.

According toABC News, Greitens allegedly had an affair with a hairdresser and performed sexual activities without her consent.

Though Greitens was personally cleared, his campaign was fined $178,000, per ABC News.
