Trump Has Privately Decided the Sexual-Assault Allegations Against Roy Moore Are Bunk
Not only does the president endorse an accused child molester for Senate, he believes the Roy Moore, D.A. yearbook signature of one alleged victim is likely fake
President Donald Trump has privately told confidants over the past week that he firmly believes Roy Moores innocence and feels no hesitation at all about endorsing the embattled Alabama Senate candidate, three sources close to the president tell The Daily Beast.
Trumps conviction sets him apart from other Republicansincluding some Moore supporters who have said they trust the accounts of the numerous women who have accused the former chief justice of the state Supreme Court of preying on them sexually when they were teenagers.
This is not something hes struggling with, one senior White House official told The Daily Beast of Trump.
The president has even begun adopting some of Moores more outlandish lines of defense to push back against accusations that the candidates guilt is beyond question.
