After lawyers for Alabama Senate GOP Candidate Roy Moore held a press conference requesting the yearbook of a woman who accused Moore of sexual assault she claims Moore signed her yearbook when she was in high school the womans lawyer said she would hand it over.
But to Congress, not the Moore campaign.
Beverly Young Nelson, the woman who said Moore sexually assaulted her in his car when she was 16, and her attorney Gloria Allred sent a letter to the Senate Ethics Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee requesting a hearing so that both Nelson and Moore could testify under oath, Allred said on CNN Wednesday night.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Moores lawyers requested Nelsons yearbook so they could have a handwriting expert examine the signature. Allred said she would be happy to oblige if it were an independent expert who could examine it during a hearing.

(23,102 posts)I was just listening to MSNBC snd they showed his attorney asking for the yearbook(s). Wonder how they will spin this offer? Will it be, we don't have time for this, am running for Senate? Will it be, OK, but we pick the "expert"? Will it be, this is a sham and we refuse to dignify it, despite asking for the yearbook in a public statement? Or, OK we'll do this, after the election?
Maybe I'm wrong, but think this is total deflection, just like drumpf does, and he will try to threaten and bully retractions or bluster his way into the Senate?
More's Attorney/Campaign manager didn't "ask" for the year book. He DEMANDED it. Meanwhile, Moore filed no suit. And I don't expect he will. because as soon as he does, the discovery and depositions will begin.

Allred just get a renowned expert and a writing sample.
