Missouri Attorney General

A former personnel and fiscal operations director claims the sheriff sued her for testifying in the state's removal effort. She’s seeking back pay and punitive damages.

Former Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey argued that reinstating the state's abortion regulations would not cause "irreparable harm" to patients. The appeals court rejected that claim, allowing Planned Parenthood clinics in Kansas City, Columbia and St. Louis to continue offering services.

The judge's decision came the day after Sheriff Alfred Montgomery was indicted on five federal felony charges.

"The undisputed facts prove Sheriff Montgomery has forfeited the right to hold public office, and this motion seeks to ensure justice is finally done for the people of St. Louis," Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said.

The office of Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is subpoenaing patient medical records, incident reports, “adverse event documentation” and more from Planned Parenthood. The organization called the request "nothing more than an attempt to harass" them and is fighting back in court.

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.
