The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is suing the Missouri Attorney General’s Office for allegedly violating open-records laws. The national group claims the office violated the Sunshine law when now U.S. Senator Josh Hawley was in charge. The Democrats say the office withheld e-mails between Hawley’s official staff and political consultants during the Republicans 2018 campaign. Hawley’s Senate spokeswoman Kelli Ford called the lawsuit “a joke.”
