Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, the front-runner in the state's GOP Senate primary, is resisting calls to drop out after facing new allegations of spousal and child abuse.
And a Republican political consultant close to the Greitens campaign told Fox News there’s"no indication he's going to drop out."
The allegations exploded like a bomb on Monday when Sheena Greitens, the disgraced former governor’s ex-wife who now lives in Texas with their two children, claimed in a court filing that he abused her and their children. The allegations were part of an affidavit filed in a Missouri court as part of her push to have a child custody case moved to Texas.
