Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is threatening to sue The Washington Post after it published a story last week that Moore had pursued relationships with teenagers while in his mid-30s, according to multiple reports.
During an event Sunday, Moore called the newspaper’s report “fake news” and a “desperate attempt to stop my political campaign,” according to The Associated Press.
The newspaper “will be sued,” he said during the event.
“Why would they come now? Because there are groups that don’t want me in the United States Senate,” he said.
“We do not plan to let anybody deter us from this race.”
