Its not just that this case has gone on, kennedy, its been in this Suspended Animation for quite some time. Yeah. Its like having a baby and being eight days overdue. You just dont know when youre going to give birth. I think its more painful than that. The menendez trial. Perhaps it is. Interestingly the map in the senate is up for grabs in two ways. You have a fraud trial. Theres a sitting republican governor that doesnt have very long until he leaves office. But you also have the case in alabama that were going to discuss later in the show with roy moore who so far is not dropping out of the race. And could potentially have another one with al franken. We dont know. The judge in new jersey says hes not going to declare a mistrial right this second. He wants to interview the foreman. He said i thought i would be candidate with you, quoting judge. Theres no cameras in the courtroom but we have our news team in there. So theyre sending us notes. Your honor, the reason it would not be f
sweeter, more beautiful girl, i could not say merry christmas, signed, love, roy moore, d.a. . look at the 1977 after merry christmas, look at those two sevens. and then look below at the 77. and i want to ask you, do you think it was written by the same person? reporter: moore denies any inappropriate sexual conduct with teenage girls. but not that he dated teenagers when he was in his 30s. do you remember dating girls that young at the time? not generally, no. but if i did, you know, i m not going to dispute anything, but i don t remember anything like that. reporter: senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, who calls moore unfit for the senate, is urging a write-in candidate to step forward. the alabamian who would fit that standard would be the attorney general, who is totally well-known and extremely popular in alabama. reporter: moore today tweeting the, quote, washington elite will do whatever it takes to stop him. they spent over $30 million to try to take me
character, this tweet at the senate majority leader has declared moore unfit for office. dear mitch mcconnell, bring it on! and the defiance building from his fellow republicans for him to step aside. lindsey graham says moore at a minimum was creepy. he s asking for the republican party to do the right thing. he was on the no fly list for a mall, which is stunning. it gets credibility to the allegations of these women. i would like the republican party of alabama to step up and fix this problem for the country and for the republican party. first daughter ivanka trump not holding back in an interview with the associated press saying there s a special place in hell for people who prey on children. i ve yet to see a valid explanation and i have no reason to doubt the victim s account. just when you think you heard it all, we have this. politico reporting that the gop is asking luther strange to
messy would this process be? it could get very messy. look, jeff sessions could reclaim his title as an alabama senator again in two ways. he could run as a write-in candidate against roy moore and democrat doug jones, counting on his immense popularity as a 20-year senator from that state to knock them both out in the december special election, or if he waits and moore wins, two-thirds of the u.s. senate could appoint moore unfit and then sessions could be appointed by alabama republican governor kay ivy. either way, it could be a win for president trump. here s why. remember, president trump made it clear he wanted sessions as attorney general to oversee the russia investigation by special counsel robert mueller. because he s he wanted somebody who was engaged politically and friendly here who could in that position if they wanted to warn the white
fill jeff sessions senate seated, says he does not remember his main accuser, leigh corfman, and says her allegations are completely false, but he did not rule out dating other teenagers when he was in his 30s. i don t remember that, and i don t remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother. reporter: one of the accusers claims that moore provided her with alcohol when she was 18, beneath the legal drinking age. moore denies it. we re also doing an investigation, and we have some evidence of some collusion here, but we re not ready to put that to the public just yet. reporter: among many republicans, swift criticism. john mccain and mitt romney calling moore unfit for office. congresswoman barbara comstock tweeting harvey weinstein, anthony weiner, roy moore, no more. i believe in the second amendment. reporter: but the judge s supporters say the allegations are false and politically motivated just weeks before a crucial special election. he s a man
