‘Two Men Worked to Discredit One of Roy Moore’s Accusers’
Days after The Washington Post broke the story that several women were accusing Roy Moore of inappropriate sexual behavior several of the Republican Senate candidate’s supporters offered $10,000 and promises of a lucrative career to the attorney representing one of Moore’s alleged victims.
“They asked lawyer Eddie Sexton to drop the woman as a client and say publicly that he did not believe her. The damaging statement would be given to Breitbart News, then run by former White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon,” The Washington Post reports Friday afternoon.
The victim was Leigh Corfman, who says Moore sexually assaulted her when she was just 14 years old, and he was a 32-year old assistant district attorney.
“In exchange, Sexton said in recent interviews, the men offered to pay him $10,000 and promised to introduce him to Bannon and others in the nation’s capital. Parts of Sexton’s account are supported by recorded phone conversations, text messages and people in whom he confided at the time.”
One of the men, according to the Post, “spoke of ties to Moore and Bannon while urging Sexton to help ‘cloud’ the allegations, which included other women’s claims that Moore pursued them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.”
Roy Moore adamantly denies having anything to do with the attempt to discredit Corfman. “I nor anyone else in the campaign offered anyone money to say something untrue, nor did I or anyone else authorize someone else to do such a thing, Moore told the Post in a written statement.
