“…Hawley turned over management of his office to consultants almost immediately after being elected and contrary to what he told the public. This is an easy story to stand by. The sourcing and reporting are unimpeachable…”

Apparently Josh Hawley (r) doesn’t like media questions about political consultants running his official office.

…At a later event in Jefferson County, Hawley was asked specifically whether he denies that The Star has emails showing communication between his official government staff and his political consultants.

Hawley did not directly answer that question and instead repeated his line that no one ran the attorney general’s office but him, according to audio recorded by St. Louis Public Radio.

Mike Fannin, editor and vice president of The Kansas City Star, said Saturday that Hawley “is not acknowledging the facts in this matter and his own staff knows it.”

“We have the story documented,” Fannin said. “Those documents spell out clearly what happened: That Hawley turned over management of his office to consultants almost immediately after being elected and contrary to what he told the public. This is an easy story to stand by. The sourcing and reporting are unimpeachable…”

Well, Josh?
