A lawyer representing GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore has sent a letter to an Alabama news outlet calling on it to issue a retraction for its reporting on Moore, according to a radio host who shared the document on Facebook.
In the letter sent to Alabama Media Group on Tuesday, Trenton Garmon, an attorney for Moore, accused the local news group of "careless and/or malicious reporting" about the embattled Senate hopeful, who is facing allegations that he sought romantic and sexual relations with teenage girls when he was in his 30s. ... The letter was obtained and shared by conservative radio host Steve Deace on Tuesday.
Writing to lawyers for Alabama Media Group, Trenton demands that the news group preserve potential evidence that it sought to defame Moore by reporting on Monday that a fifth accuser came forward about an inappropriate encounter with Moore in 1977.
The news group also reported on Monday that Alabama residents said Moore had been well known for his "predatory" behavior at a local mall. Moore's lawyer criticized the outlet for "seeking out, and/or reporting from those who did, individuals who falsely portray the reputation of" Moore.
