The Missouri Supreme Court recently rejected a request for an ethics investigation into Attorney General Andrew Bailey. The request was made by a group of citizens who alleged that Bailey had violated ethical rules by failing to properly report campaign donations and expenses. However, the court found that there was insufficient evidence to warrant an investigation.
The group of citizens had raised concerns about Bailey’s campaign finances, specifically regarding his failure to disclose the source of donations and the purpose of certain expenses. They argued that Bailey’s actions violated the rules of professional conduct for attorneys in Missouri.
Despite these allegations, the Supreme Court ultimately decided not to pursue an ethics investigation into Bailey. In their ruling, they stated that there was not enough evidence to suggest that Bailey had knowingly or intentionally violated the ethical rules.
Bailey has faced criticism in the past for his handling of various legal matters, including his defense of former Governor Eric Greitens in a campaign finance case. However, he has maintained that he acted within the bounds of the law in all of his professional dealings.
The decision by the Missouri Supreme Court to reject the request for an ethics investigation comes as a relief to Bailey, who has vigorously denied any wrongdoing. It is unclear whether the group of citizens who made the request will pursue further action against Bailey, but for now, it appears that the matter has been resolved in his favor.
