Lawyer leaving 1/6 panel amid talk of Missouri Senate run

blunt

WASHINGTON (AP) - An attorney working as a senior investigator for the U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection will leave the post amid calls urging him to run for a Missouri U.S. Senate seat as an independent.

John F. Wood's resignation is effective Friday. The resignation was confirmed Wednesday by Steve Crim, a political consultant working with the group formed to back Wood as a Senate candidate.

Crim says Wood has not declared a Senate run, but is exploring the possibility. The possible independent run comes as some Republicans are worried that former Gov. Eric Greitens could win the August primary but lose to a Democrat in November.
