Missouri Attorney General

Former Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and Republican attorneys general from Kansas and Idaho intervened in a case aimed at challenging the safety of mifepristone. After the U.S. Supreme Court said that anti-abortion groups couldn’t sue, Missouri became the lead plaintiff.

Sheriff Alfred Montgomery's lawyers warned of "irreparable harm" to the safety and security of the 22nd Judicial Circuit Courts if the office is forced to medically transport jail detainees in a request for a temporary restraining order filed Monday.

Eastern District Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the Missouri Attorney General’s Office may receive protected health information in its investigation of adolescent gender-affirming care, though it rejected the AG’s claims of broad investigative authority.

Shortly after being sworn in, Catherine Hanaway said her priories include fighting crime and protecting Missourians.

A St. Louis judge dismissed a motion Friday that could have removed Sheriff Alfred Montgomery from office.

A proposed amendment written by Missouri Republican lawmakers would repeal the reproductive rights measure passed by voters last year — but makes no mention that it would ban abortion. The ACLU of Missouri argues the proposal violates the state constitution and misleads voters.

Sheriff Alfred Montgomery’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss the charge earlier this week, citing a 2016 court order and paternity test.

The departing GOP official made a major splash in his short time as Missouri attorney general.

Newly appointed Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is now representing the office she sued as an attorney for the Grain Belt Express.

“I think that’s a drastic step,” presiding Judge Steven R. Ohmer said of the Missouri attorney general office’s preliminary removal efforts. “I don’t think we’re there at this point.”
