woman named gina richardson who was a high school senior working at the mall at series when roy moore approached her, asked her for her number. she declined. she then was in school a couple days later in class when she got a call. she thought, is it my dad? she went to the office and it turned out to be roy moore asking her out on a date. >> what age was she? a senior in high school? >> she was 17 or 18. >> do you know what happened? roy moore actually called her through the school she's saying? >> he callings her at school, she said i can't talk now i'm in trig class. so he came back to see where she worked and asked her out again. he relented and met him at the movies. and then he offered to drive her to her car which was on the

other side of the mall parking lot. and he grabbed and can i find her, at which point she got nervous and left. he would come back into the mall she would hide from him. this was at a time in the late '70s, early '80s he was gaining this reputation around the mall. we talked to a number of women around the mall back then who were asked out by him. some did go out on dates with him, but they say he was a constant presence at the mall. he was constantly going after girls who were teenagers or in some cases, early 20s. >> this is "the washington post" reporting tonight but it dove tails with the account of someone who worked at the time at a music store in the mall.

he spoke yesterday with our gary tuchman. >> we talked about other people and somebody said, don't forget about roy moore. and i asked what about roy mo e moore, and they said he's banned from the mall. and the police officer wouldn't tell me and he said if you see him, let me know i'll take care of it. >> wharmsz you eventually learn as to the reason why he was banned from the mall. >> i was told he was bothering girls at the mall. >> in what way? >> i don't know exactly, that he was approaching them and talking to them. >> girls, when you say girls -- >> teenage girls. >> did you ever see him in the mall? >> i think i saw him walk by the front of the store once. i told my manager. and he said i'll call jd. >> he's the police officer? >> yeah. roy came in one day with his wife and bought records and left and nobody said anything about it. >> did you report it?

>> no. >> how come? >> everybody was like, this is fine, so i said okay, i don't know anything about any behavior towards any women. all i know is my experience in the mall with him at that time. and that's the truth. i don't have an ax to grind against roy moore. i just -- you asked me, i told you. >> all this is happening on a day that saw roy moore's attorney go raising questions about one of his accusers. the accuser's attorney is responding. president trump didn't say anything when asked questions about it after he spoke on television earlier today. we begin with kyung lah in birmingham, alabama. judge moore just tweeted about this. what did he say? >> it's an indication of where his campaign is headed, what path he's going to take. it's, certainly, going to pit alabama against washington, d.c. take a look at this tweet that came out a few minutes ago.

it's terse ask clear. it says dear mitch mcconnell, bring, it, on. that, anderson, is an issue , that and revenues and rule alabama where we spent time talking to those voters who are certain to turn out for moore. >> let's talk about this press conference to do with moore's attorney. if anyone expected it to be an announcement about stepping back or stepping out of the race, that's certainly not what happened? >> absolutely not. couldn't be further from the truth. it ended up being about handwriting. the attorney for moore coming out and saying that he wants the public to decide. he wants an analysis of a handwriting in the yearbook that roy moore supposedly signed versus what his handwriting looks like. here they are. to your top left, that is from this year, him signing as a candidate.

to your top right, that is a 1999 when the judge signed divorce papers for the accuser. in 1977, the yearbook, the yearbook that he signed. it was beverly nelson's yearbook. and you can see there, you can make your own decision. but if you talk to the people shortly after this inferennews conference. >> the lawyers for the alleged victims, gloria allred responded to moore's attorney late today saying she's not going to give up this yearbook to be examined for handwriting unless the senate tries this? >> unless the senate convenes a committee hearing and the judge testifies under oath. earlier we were talking about the judge moore tweet, bring it

on, gloria allred is saying the the same thing to the judge. >> kung larks thank you very much. here's thousand president responded today. >> should roy moore resign, mr. president? should he resign. >> no answer to those questions. borris sanchez, do we have any understanding about the president's lack of a statement on this matter? >> anderson, a republican source close to the white house tells cnn that the president's silence on the issue of the allegations against roy moore goes back to his own previous controversies to allegations that the president himself in years past took part in sexual misconduct. according to this source the president is apprehensive about getting dragged into a conversation about his own past

accusers, specifically the source telling us those accusers were unfair to him and suggest that the president believes at least some of the accusers charging that roy moore was improper around them are treating the senate kd candidate unfairly. the president had many opportunities to answer reporters. we should also mention on his preferred mode of communication, the president has tweeted about cnn, about "the new york times," about those ucla basketball players that were detained in china. but when it comes to roy moore, anderson, mum south dakota word. >> what do republican leaders believe the president should do about all this? >> they've told cnn they want him to say something to push him away from the republican brand. sources told us the president has actually had meetings with advisers to discuss this. one of those meetings included

senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. they explored different scenarios, one of them potentially having attorney general jeff sessions as a write-in candidate. this election is taking place because sessions left that seat to go to the department of justice. that scenario has been described as far-fetched. several sources told cnn the president is fed up with the roy moore situation, that he would prefer to have him drop out of the race. but clearly that's not something the president is saying publicly at this point, anderson. >> borris sanchez. i want to bring in the panel. scott, i want to start with you. last night we talked about various options. what are you hearing from people you talked to on capitol hill? >> i'm hearing that they've gone through this for the last 24 hours. and it feels like all these crazy ideas about write-ins are dying or already dead. there's movement afoot on

something we discussed last night, which is the concept of luther strange who currently occupies the office resigning, creating a vacancisy, and having kaye ivy appoint a new senator. that would reset the process. some people were tweeting about that today that. appears to be under research at the highest levels rerepublican party. i'm hearing from people in the white house that there is enormous frustration on behalf of the president and senior staff because they believe this roy moore thing is embarrassing to the party. but they also believe there are no good options that that helping me not be able to get the appear ra to us bend to his will anyway because it ain't like it used to be. local control of parties now seems to trump what the national structure wants. there's a lot of frustration in washington. i think all the options to get this done are dead except for this idea by a resignation by strange. >> i think if donald trump were to come out, had he done

something today, as i think he should have, say i think he needs to step aside, then he would have some power. i don't think anybody else in washington has any authority. i think you're 100% right. but i think donald trump would have been able to talk to the people in the state and say, i think you don't want this hanging over your head, and i think he ought to step aside. obviously donald trump didn't want to bring up "access hollywood" and everything else. but this is a bigger story than donald trump. >> michael, the president already weighed in with the people of alabama about luther strange. does it make sense for the president to weigh in on this? >> people talk about him being quick to react to things. in my experience he's very deliberately, especially opposite things that matter

deeply to him. he's faced an interesting situation where those of us who supported him for so many years he was falsely accused at the end of the election. >> there's no good options? >> no. here's what it is. as a strong trump supporter, i trust the president to do the right thing. i trust he's already doing the right thing. even though people wanted him to do it within 24 hours, he'll do it on his own time. >> what do you think he'll do? >> in my opinion i think the president will probably make communication with the judge early on. he may have done it already. this thing looks so basingdiffi for the republican party. >> there was a bigger misstep earlier in the primary process where he did get behind luther strange because he was taking the advice of mitch mcconnell. the conservative base was never behind strange. donald trump made a misstep

there. the fact that alabama voters didn't listen the trump, it was more about mitch mcconnell endorsement. roy moore was never consensus choice, so i think donald trump needs to take responsibility for misreading that situation. >> what about the ben factor. >> trump doesn't like to lose and he was hultd by what happened in that alabama primary. it happened publicly. the fact into if you're donald trump looking how things are going to say unfold, i don't keep you can say with certainty whether moore is going to win or lose. so it's not clear what trump would even want to do from a standpoint of i want come out of this looking good. >> donald trump is not going to -- if i was his press person, we wouldn't be talking about

this because if he's going to bring it up, it's going to come back to "access hollywood" and all the women that have come out and accused the president of sexual harassment or being a sexual predator, if you will. he disparnld those women and literally talked about bringing lawsuits against them. and now for donald trump to stand up as some moral beacon in this, i don't see how that's happening. >> it's already being recycled. the women are saying what about us? why aren't you listening or why didn't you listen to us? donald trump gets it either way. but he is the leader of the country. he's also the leader of the republican party. does the party want to be branded? >> donald trump talked about grabbing women by a word i'm not going to use on anderson's program. he bragged about it on the tape and then came out and disparjd these women. my memory is not that short and i don't think neither is the

memory of the american people. he is an alleged sexual pedestrian tore sitting in the white house. so i don't expect him to come out on top at all. >> what would be the harm of him not weighing in on this frchlts he doesn't, there won't be any harm to the election process because it will just continue. >> his agenda. >> but his agenda is in peril here. we heard polling last night, the republicans in washington believe moore is down double digits. i heard about polling that was conducted just prior to these issues in which he saw his lead erode to two points because jones and the democrats are outspending more and the republicans in alabama. with the rnc out and basically anybody who can help fundraising there, out. that spending disparaity is goig to get worse. this has made it worse.

the financial disparity is going to get worse. think about this. steve boon may elect a democrat to the reddest state in america. >> we give bannon too much credit. >> as someone who supports the president and supports steve bannon, for example, i think those of us who believe broderick and believe kathleen willie, i was speaking loudly in favor of inviting them to the debate in order to set is clintons back on their heels. if we're inclined to believe them, those of us who are supports of the president need to take a look at judge moore through that lens because if they're believable, then so are these two. ivanka trump weighing in. the shocking disclosure about how much taxpayer money has gone to settle sexual harassment claims and other claims in congress and how many lawmakers right now are accused

explanation. that's two full sentences more than what the president said on the issue. back with the panel now. what about steve bannon. i turn to josh who's all things steve bannon. >> there were published reports that bannon was wavering and having second thoughts and might be thinking about jumping back from moore. i checked around with some of my sources who said no, that's not true. if you look at what moore just tweeted, mitch mcconnell, bring it on, that sounds as if it were ghost written by bannon. >> i've spoken to a source who is familiar with what steve bannon is thinking. he's out of the country right now. it's not a really good time for him to be out of the country, but he is. he is not backing down at all. what i want to know is has he talked to the president about this or will he talk to the president about this? i don't know the answer because

i think it would be a concern for donald trump since they are working together on a lot of other things and a lot of other issues. he supports him a lot of ways. >> the press conference today, did that help moore? if you believe in roy moore, you can say the attorney raised valid questions. you look at his explanation of the d.a. at the signature. someone who worked in the court who signed the documents. moore that's not something that he wrote. he was the assistant district attorney. >> the question of whether or not it helped him depends on one person, and that's sean hannity. when people are holding a press conferences, they're doing it for an audience of one, donald trump. >> one of them said you have 24

hours. >> and moore dutifully within that 24-hour window not only give the press conference but released a statement essentially laying out his argument for why these accusations are phony and why hannity should support him. basically that's his way of doing damage control. and so the question of whether or not it helps him i think we'll find out. >> the flip side is gloria allred do herself any favors by saying we'll hand over the yearbook -- which is ludicrous. >> moore gave his people something to hang their hat on. but it hurt her client by calling for a senate investigation of someone who's not yet in the united states senate. that was crazy. th they have not even attempted to deal with that at all. >> if you're trying to look at this objectively, that original

story, no attempt at all to refute it. >> we're just trying to muddy the waters here. they were trying to get it out there, muddy the waters. we didn't sign this thing, we don't remember this. she's not telling the truth because i was presided over her divorce proceedings. give people something to sort of raise questions about, but did it answer any questions dwichblt? >> was he trying to mud wree the waters or give his campaign some oxygen. as someone who's been on many campaigns, things amuse fast in these situations. maybe he's trying to bide for time. >> maybe the legal documents aren't helpful because moore's first defense was i've never seen the woman or know anything about her.

and they say look at the papers, that makes him look worse than it does the woman. >> a judge sees thousands of case, would he have remembered if he had been involved. just another point of view. >> but he wants to use her evidence to discredit her. >> he's attacking the, quote/unquote, victims here. i absolutely agree with gloria that he's trying to muddy the waters here. i'm not buying the case about, oh, the judge sees plenty of cases. why provide this paperwork to corroborate that you actually know her. >> just to make her look bad. >> it doesn't really add up and make sense. frankly, i don't know if this is helpful or harmful to the voters in alabama. i think this is what we were hearing during the presidential election when folks were saying donald trump can't get elected when we found out people in polling were not just willing to

say they're going to cast their rote to donald trump. i do think there's more support than people are letting on. now, there's a chance that doug jones can win. he's 28% of african-american support to win this election. i don't know what kind of investment that the dnc put out that would support that. so i think we just need to take a step back here. if there are enough moderate republicans in alabama -- i don't like this, the pedophilia is just a little too much for me, perhaps doug jones will be elected senator. but i think we have to be realistic about the numbers. >> polling around a news bomb like this can be volatile. i don't think the race is over. he could win. jackie spear says two current lawmakers are accused of sexual harassment and that millions of dollars have been paid out to accusers over the decades in secret your tax dollars. an interview with her when we

continue.

ploor moore ploor . today two female democratic lawmakers, jackie speier and criteria sten gill brand introduced bills to change how sexual harassment claims are handled on capitol hill. two sitting members of congress, one democrat, and other republican, are currently being accused of sexual harassment.

she would not say their names. she disclosed millions of dollars have been paid out in settlements. >> in the last 20 years there have been 260 settlements at a cost to the taxpayers of this country of $15 million. that $15 million has been there to silence victims of all types of workplace discrimination. today we are here to change that. abusers and sexual predators have thrived in our system where all the power is deliberately taken away from the survivor. >> earlier i spoke with congresswoman jackie speier. >> you said the current system is set up to silence those who've been harassed. how does your bill change that? >> it changes it dramatically. right now there's literally 90 days that a victim has to wait before they can either file a

complaint or go to court. they also have to file and sign a nondisclosure agreement. they aren't represented by any counsel, and yet the harasser is represented by the house of representatives. so our legislation is a bilateral piece of legislation, will allow a victim to sthoorn time frame, not participate in mandatory mediation, not a nondisclosure agreement if they don't want to, it will also apply to skberinterns and felloo are not covered by the program now. if it's a member who as well harasses, they will have to repay the settlement to the u.s. treasury. >> it was revealed yesterday that there are two sitting members of congress who've been accused of sexual harassment. i know you say you don't want to name them because the victims don't want it exposed, but by not naming them, are you protecting them from being held

accountable, possibly allowing them to continue their behavior? >> first of all if anyone is in their offices and they feel they can be as well harassed, they should come to me and i will personally walk them to the office so they can file their complaint. these are nondisclosure agreements. if the victim violates that, they can lose their settlement. they have already gone through hell either in the office and then even through the process, which one of them has said to me is worse than actually, the harassment itself. i'm going to protect those victims. >> so if you named those people who were accused, that would be violating their nondisclosure agreement? >> correct, in the case of one, yes. >> it is pretty astounding that the person taxpayer is the one who foots the bills for these

settlements. we're talking potentially millions of dollars. >> more than $15 million has been paid by the taxpayers of this country to settle about 260 settlements that dealt with not just sexual harassment, but forms of discrimination, racial discrimination, disability discrimination, so it's a problem we need to address. >> is there something about the culture of congress on capitol hill that makes it slower to respond or in the past has made it slower to respond to something like this? does it still have one foot stuck in the past? >> i think this system is really in the dark ages. we are now in the 21st century, so the program and office was created in 1995 after the packwood scandals, and i think it was done with the idea that they would create the image that we were doing something, but it

was really a big stop sign for victims because there are all these hoops they have to jump through if they want to either file a complaint or file a lawsuit. >> congresswoman speier, appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. we're going to talk to the panel about this, what the congresswoman said. also the debate over tax reform including another partial obamacare repeal. you nervous? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ work keeps me busy. so i've asked chase sapphire reserve cardmembers

. all or nothing, that is the phrase coming from capitol hill assist congressional republicans try to sell tax reform. senate republicans added partial obamacare repeal to their version. bill. they are confident the bill could still pass but it takes only a few senators to sink it and even republicans are voicing concern. the president gesture tweeting on the subject, quote, big vote tomorrow in the house, tax cuts are getting close. and why are democrats fighting massive tax cuts for the middle class and business. jobs, the reason, obstruction and delay. i want to all about congresswoman speier and what they said.

does it make sense to you she's not naming the two people? >> not at all. listen, if it weren't for the -- it's like colig you l.a up ther. she's absolutely most unreliable liar in the house of representatives. and i know that because she lied about me after i testified before congress in the house intelligence committee. she with unto there, didn't attend. we didn't have a transcript even, and she went on cnn and accused me of lying before congress. and since then, hasn't proved anything, just decided to today on to do something else and find other headlines, and this is one for her. >> i will say if it is true that $15 million were spent to cover the up sex crimes. >> it was also other forms of discrimination. >> but to cover this up and

spend taxpayer dollars secretly, that is a huge scandal. i don't really like the reforms she's proposing. first introduce a stand-alone piece of legislation saying we abolish this fund. there will be no taxpayer money spent for some kind of sexual harassment claims because i bet this is not limited to congress but also other agencies. the second step she has to name the names. there's nothing that will work better than putting the fear of god into the hearts of these members of congress that they will not get away with this again. i understand protecting the accusers, but i don't understand how coming forward with the names of the people who did this hurts the accusers. >> the idea she would respect an nda a guy who attacked someone and wouldn't respect the nda of me testifying before a classified briefing, it devise reduality. >> clearly mr. caputo has

feelings. there's also a larger conversation. it's not just those two alleged members of congress. we're seeing this from the hill to tech to media, to journalism. this is clearly a system that is working. and we have to examine our sexual culture, and how hour culture supports this type of behavior. >> and state capitols around the country as well. tallahassee as well. >> ohio has had resignations, my home state of kentucky, the speaker of the house just resigned. amanda's point resonates with me, but i don't think we do enough for victims in this countcup. if there's concern from a victim, that transparency would disadvantage them or hurt them or cause them any kind of life trouble, that's something we cannot overlook. >> let's talk about tax cuts.

should republicans be optimistic do you think? >> they're trying really hard to be optimistic. >> collins and murkowski. >> you had ron johnson tonight, of wisconsin saying i can't vote for this until you change the provisions for small business. he spoke with the president about it. the house is going to vote on this tomorrow and they're wondering are we going to go out on a limb again like we did on health care only to have the senate cut off the branch? and that could well happen. now, taxes are always an easier issue for the republicans, but now they brought health care into it again. they've given the democrats a talking point, which is you're going to cut 13 million people off the rolls. and it'll save some money, but people's premiums are going to go up. >> if they don't do health care, they face voter outrage.

>> they also need the money. they need $338 billion in this bill. ron swrons's statement is getting a lot of attention, but the last line of the statement is important. i still want to vote for this. he did this on obamacare repeal. he made a big stink. asked for a bunch of stuff. there was a talking to on the senate floor, and he voted aye. johnson has legit concerns. >> the suggested delay of one year is a disaster for the american economy. there's nothing wrong with the 2018 elections for the republicans. if they delay these tax cuts until 2019, they doom the republican party in 2018. >> the republican voters are not standing up saying give us tax reform. many members of congress have been on order saying the donor class is saying do this or

you're not getting the money. second, in terms second, how about we don't cut cooperate taxes so much and there you have some money. they don't have the votes and this will be dangerous. if folks want to go on record, they can say goodbye to their seats in 2018. more from the panel ahead. we'll talk about president trump's white house address this afternoon, unlike anything we've seen before in some ways. we'll talk about that ahead. na, i trained as hard as i could to stay alive. i have more than 30 pieces of shrapnel still in my leg. but i still push myself to the limit. if it weren't for my tempur-pedic, i wouldn't be able to sleep on my left side at all. ♪ the tempur-pedic veteran's day savings event is here, and now is the time to take advantage of this incredible offer. save up to $500 instantly on select tempur-pedic adjustable mattress sets. find your exclusive retailer today at tempurpedic.com. t-mobile family plans now come with netflix included. that's huge.

and he felt he was shown respect, therefore the country was shown respect and the predecessors were not respected. as far as having some kind of huge show here, what did he get, i didn't see it. >> makes sense he would want to take time to recount it if he feels it's not getting coverage. >> i'll tell you. they're looking at polling where the majority say he's not fit to hold the office. today's speech didn't break a lot of news but he looked like a president, sounded like a president. the chinese are now sending an envoy to north korea. we have trade deals and investment deals in china, south korea, and vietnam. and so i think they are on a campaign right now to use the presidency to look and sound like a president to alleviate this pressure on not fit to hold the office.

frankly, they need to talk about this trade and investment because they need people to connect their improving views i don't think it's so unusual for a president who was out of the country for so many many days, i think remarkable amount of days, a record for at least modern times to want to come back and recount what he's been through. in fact, i think a lot of what he was looking at, there wasn't a lot of coverage of the job creation that's going to come out of it. a lot of people think about as an immigration president, a health care president, i think of him as a growth president. i come from the ranks of these tax cuts he's proposing and i believe that his singular focus on creating jobs, even when he's out internationally, focused on economic nationalism, that's a message that works with his base and was proven by the growth that comes out of these tax cuts. >> i would like to see the jobs,

though. i saw this more as does donald trump have nothing else to do today than recount what he did last week that we all saw because we watch the news. i want to go back to him lecturing south korea on their history, haging out with dictators and human rights abusers in the philippines. those are some things that also happened. taking jabs at kim jong-un on twitter. so it's hard for me to think that the white house had a deep strategic play as you're purporting that they do. they need to just go ahead and bring you on staff. i don't think that's what they did today. >> but the white house does like to play up these international trips. we go back to president trump's trip to the middle east. when he came back he gave this long gushing statement and about how donald trump single-handedly put the united states on a path

to peace. and then trump essentially just made the case for himself this time talking about the historic nature of this trip. clearly he takes a loft pride in these trips. when he's over there he doesn't get as much bad press. so i understand why he would do that, but i do think he does have something to talk about. if the chinese did indeed send a convoy to north korea to reopen talks because of pressure that donald trump hut on them, that is a bg, big deal and he should take credit for it. >> a lot of what he's going to be judged on on foreign policy in z his first term is whether he ratchets down this north korea oib. he called for for denuclearization of north korea today. if somehow he works with the chinese and the russians and the international kmoont to get that done, that's a home run foreign policy thing and it really is the most important threat to the united states right now that's nonterrorism and clearly he made some progress on it. >> but a lot of people, including james clapper, say

that denuclearization of north korea is on kboblt. it's not going to happen. so can auto ooh unite the world against north korea? did he try and do that, slul. we can all agree that that's what we want to do. does calling kim jong-un rocket man help? we can disagree on that. but -- >> ignoring him didn't work. >> strategic patience is what the policy was. but, you know, that chapter has to be written yet. >> all right. i want to thank everybody. we are not done with the president's address. well, the ridiculous is next. different kind of coverage.

with advil's fast relief, you'll ask, "what pulled muscle?" "what headache?" nothing works faster to make pain a distant memory. advil liqui-gels and advil liqui-gels minis. what pain? why people everywhere are upgrading their water filter to zerowater. start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids. pour it through brita's two-stage filter. dissolved solids remain? what if we filter it over and over? (sighing) oh dear. thank goodness zerowater's five-stage filter gets to all zeroes the first time. so, maybe it's time to upgrade. get more out of your water. get zerowater.

time now for the ridiculous. i promise you we were all ready to go with a fun one about thanksgiving pants and then later this afternoon president trump addressed the nation and something weird happened. this will include purchases of u.s. advanced capabilities from jet fighters to missile defense, systems worth many, many billions of dollars and jobs for the american worker. prime minister and i -- >> it was at that point that curiosity set in, is he chewing gum, are fire ants eating his tongue and ps, why did he just say prime minister and i? what prime minister? >> prime minister and i also discussed ways we can deepen our trade relationship based on the core principles of fairness and rescue prosty. i am pleased that since january of this year 17,000 jobs --

thank you. they don't have water? that's okay. what? that's okay. japanese manufacturers -- >> i'm sorry. what a natural, dprasful, take a sip at this point i would like to tell you that the official trio the months cots this address were finished with their business at the podium. i would like to say it, but i cannot. >> we made at that time is running out and we made it clear and all options remain on the table. we also announced $250 billion worth in trade investment deals that will create jobs in the

united states. from china i flew to the city of -- >> i feel bad for him. i've actually given speeches where i've had dry mouth. i'm fully aware it is not the most mature thing in the world to be talking about this at all. >> false choices like the one the president laid out tonight. >> and he goes like this. remember? and it's off screen. then he goes totally off-camera during live television and he grabs a bottle of water with the label on it. it's rubio. >> now, if you switch it out, you've got to take it. you've got to grab it with both habds and you've got to drink it in on the ridiculous. thanks for watching 360. time to turn things over to don lemon. cnn tonight starts now.

he is the candidate, his own party desperately wants to get rid of, but roy moore is not only refusing to drop out of the senate race, he is doubling down against one of the women who accuses him of sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager. this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon. an attorney for moore's campaign saying tonight that accuser beverly young nelson had a divorce case assigned to judge moore 18 years ago. and demanding she produce her high school year book so moore's team can have a handwriting expert examine what she says is moore's signature. i'm going to talk to attorney gloria allred about that in just a moment. it's want a lot for roy moore to hang his political future on really, especially with four other women accusing moore of sexually abusing them when they were teenagers. one of them just 14. and the "washington post" reporting tonight
