were leveled, you know, several weeks or so ago are not exclusive, and there could be more coming. go his lawyer is preparing for that possibility, whatever the charges may be. thank you so much for that reporting. steve bannon went to alabama last night. why? to stump for roy moore, the republican candidate in the special election, but ended up picking fights with a list of republicans, nobody is safe from his attacks, not mitch mcconnell, not mitt romney, and this is a man still very close to the president, though not in the white house, his former chief strategist. he laid into these establishment republican figures. romney, he went after his faith and his kids. reporter: yeah, poppy. he certainly went in very hard to mitt romney during that speech last night. steve bannon came down to alabama to rally support for his
that has been proof at least these people were together, that senator franken spent time with these people. i think it s really important to your point about how reporters do their jobs of vetting these people. some of the people i have spoken to, i could basically steal their identities i vetted shem so thoroughly. i know so much about their lives and the information that they re describing and ha r. have talked to so many friends and family members close to them who also will talk about their characters and what kind of people they are. all of that goes into our reporting and we really don t take it lightly. on the subject, i want to talk a little bit about roy moore. steve bannon went to alabama last night and held a rally. now mitt romney had tweeted that moore would be a stain on the republican party. there have been a lot of republicans saying how awful this is for the republican party. steve bannon attacked mitt romney and basically focussing on the fact that mitt romney avoid
alabama last night i demanded answers. they deserve them. those people of alabama deserve them before an election. and today we got the answers to the questions that we ask. let me give you judge roy moore s attorney in a press conference and question the validity of the yearbook and signature. said it could be forged and demanded a forensic analysis. i spoke to a forensic analyst on my radio show today. he said they will be able to tell if the ink is fresh or not, and they will be able to look at comparisons to his handwriting then and in that your book and determine if it was his. judge moore today, late tonight released a letter to me. let me read it to you. i will read it in full. i think that s fair. dear sean, i m suffering the same treatment of the republicans have had to endure. a month prior to the general election to u.s. senate in alabama i have been attacked by the washington post and other liberal media in a desperate attempt to smear my character and defeat my campaign.
us. however, these allegations are beyond disturbing and serious. i have a 16-year-old daughter. ivanka trump said something today. there is a special place in hell for people who prey on children. ivanka trump is right. there is a special place in hell for predators, that is something everyone should agree with. that should not be political. with judgee moore, unlike everyone else in the media, i went right to the source. i interviewed him. i went to the washington post i allegations methodically, point by point through each and every allegation in the washington post in that piece, and i let him respond. shockingly, for the first time in my life, even the liberals praised that interview. rarity for me. for me and so many others, because what happened in that interview, it did raise new questions. then came the issue of the yearbook that allegedly shows judge moore s message to one of his accusers, and that is why for the sake of the people of alabama last night i demanded answers
cruised to victory last night in the primary runoff in alabama giving a major victory to the populist movement fed up with business as usual in washington, d.c. president trump campaigned for judge moore s opponent in the race but still seems happy with last night s election results. president trump: he came a long way and ran a good race. roy ran a really great race and i know what they did with mitch, they used him in the campaign. he worked hard and i m sure things will work out. dana: joining us from washington for reaction is rick cline, political director for abc news. how does washington feel what happened in alabama last night? a localized situation or does it foretell something else? it s a big deal. the disruption has only begun. the idea that trumpism can defeat president trump has huge ramifications for the 2018 landscape and for what goes on in president trump s head when he is thinking about how he will conduct himself
