No, Roy Moore accuser didn't admit she forged his signature in her yearbook

A conspiracy-minded website attempted to cast doubt on evidence presented by one of eight women who accused Roy Moore of sexual assault in a misleading headline days ahead of the Alabama Senate race.

"WE CALLED IT! Gloria Allred Accuser **ADMITS** She Tampered With Roy Moore’s Yearbook ‘Signature’ (VIDEO)," the headline reads on The Gateway Pundit. We found similar posts on Breitbart, "Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook," and on the blog Silence is Consent, "Roy Moore accuser admits she forged yearbook inscription."



But Nelson does not claim she tampered with Moore’s actual signature. She said she added a time and location below the signature. Nelson still attributes the note and signature to Moore.

We rate the statement Pants on Fire.

FEMA to Claw Back Overtime Pay From Employees After Record Number of Natural Disasters

The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that employees who worked extra hours during a string of natural disasters this year will have to return some of their overtime pay.

According to Bloomberg, the claw-back is due to the fact that federal employees have a cap on premium pay and agencies can demand money they paid beyond the maximum be returned via the employees’ future paychecks. Given the multiple devastating hurricanes that hit the Gulf states, the subsequent flooding and the wildfires raging across the Western United States, FEMA has said it might have to start billing the employees who worked around the clock on those matters to reclaim the overtime pay they earned.

One FEMA staffer told Bloomberg that clawing back the money could reduce the willingness of FEMA employees or other Homeland Security staff to sign up for future deployment
