McCaskill demands Hawley name special prosecutor to probe hidden camera controversy

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., demanded legal action this week after a hidden camera was planted in one of her campaign offices by an organization linked to a right-wing provocateur.

McCaskill’s campaign wants her Republican opponent for the U.S. Senate, Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley, to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas violated the state’s Merchandising Practices Act with the surreptitious recording. The law prohibits misleading and deceptive business practices.
