The Attorney General's office said the Missouri Republican Party is misrepresenting Jay Nixon's work on getting information from the popular networking site MySpace.com.
A spokesman for Jay Nixon said the Attorney General has been pursuing the case since January, working with multiple states.
The G.O.P. charged that Nixon had not been part of that multi-state effort. But Scott Holste, of the Attorney General's office said "the May 14 letter to MySpace.com from the executive committee of the multi-state group represented all 50 states, including Missouri."
Holste added that the names of the Missouri convicted sex offenders were obtained through a subpoena issued to MySpace.com.
"The information we turned over to the Highway Patrol was just as complete as the information received by other states, and was consistent with the information received by every other state Attorney General who requested it," Holste said in a statement to the KY3 Political Notebook.
"Because complete information has been provided to the Highway Patrol, we trust the Governor will direct the Patrol to support our efforts in protecting Missouri's children," Holste said.
