Missouri Governor Eric Greitens, under indictment for invasion of privacy in connection with the cover-up of an extramarital affair, has resigned from a leadership position with the Republican Governors Association, the organization said on Friday.
Greitens will not attend the group's winter meeting currently under way in Washington, the association's executive director, Paul Bennecke, said in a statement.
"Given his desire to focus his full attention on moving forward in Missouri, he also no longer intends to serve on the Executive Committee of the" Republican Governors Association, Bennecke said.
A message left for Greitens' press office was not immediately returned, and a spokeswoman for his attorneys said they had no comment.
A Missouri grand jury handed up a one-count indictment on Thursday, accusing the 43-year-old of felony invasion of privacy, stemming from a March 21, 2015, incident.
