and we maintain that judge moore did not know leigh corfman more has he ever known her.we find interesting is that her story has been told in only the vaguest of terms without deeper investigation by the media. if the liberal media were half as interested in investigating the accusations against judge moore as they are in scaring up 1980s era false gossip at the mall weld be getting to the bottom of this and moving on. we urge the press to do it's job. >> now under the heading ever the press doing its job we have this story tonight. gary tuckman located a friend of corfman who says she can corroborate her story and speaking out on camera the first time tonight. >> betsy rutin berg davis grau up in gadsen alabama the hometown of judge roy moore. >> this is me up here and almost directly below me in leigh here. >> leigh corfman the woman who says roy moore skaurly abused her as a 14-year-old, an allegation that moore denies. betsy davis is one of the two friends that corfman said she told at the time. >> leigh and i grew up together. i've known her since we were babies. >>

so, you are calling leigh corfman a liar? >> i'm saying leigh corfman is not telling the truth. and what i'm saying is this. just like you just quoted her and said, we gotta believe her because she said it and wrote it, you said that about the lady on friday. y'all said just because she said it, and by the way, she's got this piece of paper that she says judge moore wrote on in her yearbook, you've got to believe here. zero evidence. this fake narrative about judge moore that the people of alabama have been putting up with for three or four weeks is falling apart in front of y'all's eyes. he'll be the next senator from alabama. he'll go up and help trump. and this democrat he's fighting is -- this democrat's for asking trump to resign. so the people of alabama need to understand who they're dealing with. >> i just want to say that, in the yearbook, they have said that is evidence. and 30 other people backed up those eight women in "the washington post" story. i want to ask you, if judge moore were to win the senate seat and the senate initiated an ethics investigation, would roy

it's that simple. >> nothing to do with the question that john asked, about leigh corfman and the 14-him of child molestation? >> that is -- that is one of a number of allegations and the difference in this case is we're talking about 40-year-old allegations. we're not talking about a photograph, multiple photographs, we're not talking about a $27,000 settlement, we're talking about allegations. and the larger precedent here, this is where the real damage comes in, if we learn from this election that an allegation can beat you in an election both political parties will know from now on we don't need to debate issues, all we need to do is find allegations. >> marty conners, we will watch alongside you today to see what happens in this race. a lot of interest to say the least. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >>> all right. moments ago, attorney general jeff sessions speaking about immigration after the terror attack here in new york city. let's listen. >> as yesterday's new york events showed in the starkest terms, the failures of our immigration system are also a national secur

i don't believe the eight women including leigh corfman who said she was molested. dissimilar about the 13 women who accused him? >> right. and perhaps potentially giving cover to others in congress that are accused about his kind of behavior. i think this comes against the backdrop of people wondering why there have been such swift firings of people in all industries accused of bad behavior when it comes to sexual assault. and yet the president was elected as you said. other members of congress still in their seats after being accused on both sides of the aisle of sexual assault. that's kind of the context for this that i think is important here. i think in the alabama race there are a couple things going on. first, the polling has kind of settled down. roy moore has taken the lead again. >> it's mixed. the post has it. and other polls have it -- >> right. we have about three points. it's still close. but we're two weeks away from the original report of the allegations. and i think you have everything going on in congress right now. i think that raises a significan

>> do you believe leigh corfman? >> i wasn't there, don't know the facts.ere, you're not there. i'm not here to judge these women or call these women out. i actually, i am with women for trump and we endorsed roy moore. i was at an event, women for roy moore two weeks ago, but this is a thing that alabama's going to make the decision. and you xasked the question, dos it matter president trump is going there? i'm glad he's going there. end of the day, i think alabamians will decide and what's really relevant here is that they, the people across this country are tired of washington sticking their nose into everybody's business and trying to choose the candidates in the races. this is a rebellion, i think, against mitch mcconnell and the 30, $20 million to $30 million he spent. whether or not president trump goes or not, i think that the people are still going to come forward and i think they will vote for roy moore. >> let me just -- back to my original question. do you believe the women who accused bill clinton? back in the '90s? >> there are a lot of accusa

. >> well, leigh corfman, the biggest accuser of all in the roy moore story, who was 14, who came outashington post" story about this, said she's a republican. she voted for trump, in fact. she was not politically motivated. i think the biggest point of all, when it comes to leigh corfman, is when she was interviewed by t"the washington pos post", she was interviewed seven times before that first story came out. and they tried to convince her multiple times to go on the record, and she finally did. but that's because people don't really want to talk about these things. many women are coming forward, but there are many more women who are not coming forward with their stories because it's still not fun to talk about. she several times over the last 20 years wanted to talk about it. she wanted to confront roy moore about it. she's said that in numerous interviews since. it's just a hard thing to talk about, and she struggled with it for years. >> so do you think, erin, that roy moore's campaign feels more emboldened now, especially following the president's endorsement friday night in pe

and finally, most importantly, this brings us to leigh corfman. she claims she met 32-year-old moore at the alabama courthouse where he was an assistant district attorney. corfman accompany her mother. obtained her telephone number and allegedly touched her in appropriately guiding her hand to do likewise. two friends told the washington post she reported her involvement with moore at the time. when sean hannity talked about moore dating teenage girls, he said it could be out of my customary behavior. recently moore on the campaign trail has taken to saying i don't know any of the women. clearly he does. one more thing, as noted by kyle for al.com. in the book, "so help me god." he talked about meeting his wife at the christmas party. many years before, i had attended a dance recital. i remember one of the dances performed by a young woman whose first and last names started with the letter "k." it was something i never forgotten. could that young woman have been kayla kisor. he said he determined she had indeed performed a special dance reciteal y

moore has been elected saying he is going to the united states senate despite the fact of what leigh corfmanthat when she was 14 he touched her genitals. perhaps franken is hoping that people will say this just isn't right. these two don't balance. >> michael, pardon me for interrupting here. i don't think you answered what i was saying here about more than 30 of your colleagues come out and say you have to resign. you get on the floor of the senate and you resign. then you turn around and so, no, just kidding and all your colleagues go along with that? >> i'm not using the kidding word. i don't find any of this to be a laughing matter. and i'm not making light or a joke of it. those colleagues all glommed onto this situation so as to provide voters in alabama with a second consideration before they pass judgment on roy moore. in fact, let me say it more clearly. but for the election tuesday in alabama, i do not believe that kirsten gillibrand and colleagues would have led the charge against al franken the way they did. >> i'm hearing you. and i think this is true. there is a political calcu
