Roy Moore Is Asking for $250,000 to Cover His Legal Expenses

Defeated Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is trying to raise $250,000 as he fights a defamation lawsuit filed by a woman who says Moore touched her sexually when she was 14 years old.

Moore railed against a "vicious attack" from lawyers in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco and asked for money to start a legal defense fund in a rambling [f500link]Facebook[/f500link] message posted Friday night. He did not explicitly mention the defamation suit.
