ST. LOUIS — Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and St. Louis County Executive Sam Page are locking horns over COVID-19 restrictions Schmitt is calling “the most stringent in the state that have encroached on personal and economic freedoms.”
The I-Team obtained a 10-page letter Schmitt sent to Dr. Faisal Khan, the county’s director of public health, on April 20 asking him to cite medical research and data that was driving the county’s shut-down orders.
