Former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) is suing one of the women who has accused him of sexual misconduct for defamation.
Moore filed a counterclaim against accuser Leigh Corfman after she initially sued the former candidate for defamation, AL.com reported Tuesday.
Moore's attorney made the filings in a Montgomery County court late Monday night. The documents describe Corfman's lawsuit as "frivolous and groundless" and "strongly" denies the allegations of sexual misconduct by Moore.
"This is and has been a political attempt to smear the good name and reputation of Judge Roy Moore, and we will not let this injustice continue," Moore's attorney, Melissa Isaak, said in a statement Tuesday.
Moore is also requesting that the case be moved out of Montgomery County to Etowah County. His legal defense fund claimed that the case was filed in Montgomery "for political reasons to hide the truth from the public about these false allegations," according to the Daily Beast.

SLOW FOOTED...SLOW WITTED! THis should have been done months ago! Typical Republican.
Well, the one bit of good that came out of all of this was that Franken finally vacated the Senate.
btt
Hopefully his suit wont be dismissed by some Clinton or Obama-appointed Judge.
**************
State/County court, not Federal
Filed in Montgomery County and is being requested it be moved to Etowah County
When the rats tried to frame Trump in 2016, his bold, forthright and unequivocal denounciation of Their smears and lies smashed their ploys
Moore is just another GOP dullard. He doesnt have the courage or wit to tackle the fake news media
Basically, what he's saying is that she has no legal standing to sue him for defamation if she already defamed him.
It's filed in an Alabama county court. The judges won't be presidential appointees.
I don't think this is the one that Allred dredged up.
The restaurant woman was the Allred client. This one is the 14 year old that Roy met outside the courthouse.
(a) It's in state court, not federal.
(b) It's not really his suit. She sued him for defamation for calling her a liar. He tried to get the case dismissed and, when he lost, he filed a counterclaim. He hasn't sued any of the other women who accused him.
What a fool.
You will offend Hannity, who says no woman would lie about something like that.
If he wins will Ben Shapiro and McConnell explain away their positions ?
And Moore doesnt have deep pockets, apparently. But the true problem in this suit is if it limits itself to the woman and the Washington Post - and it limits itself to what happened to Moore directly.The real problem is not that the WaPo committed libel but that the whole MSM joined in. The real problem is that the Associated Press homogenizes journalism. And what happened to Moore is nothing that didnt happen to just about every Republican that ever came down the pike. What is needed is a class action suit to bankrupt the AP.
Dullard,, ,great description.
