A George Soros-backed prosecutor in St. Louis already facing a legal effort by Missouri's attorney general to fire her may also be held in criminal contempt of court.
Teams of lawyers representing both sides appeared in a St. Louis courtroom on Tuesday for a marathon hearing focused on whether Bailey's lawsuit should be dismissed and what evidence city prosecutors must provide to the state. The arguments went on for over four hours, with Judge John Torbitzky ultimately saying he'll make a decision on most of the issues at a later time. He also set a tentative trial date for Sept. 25.

Gardner is one of the first prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she'll seek a third term.
