White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that President Donald Trump believes if the allegations of sexual misconduct against Alabama Republican Senate hopeful Roy Moore are true, he should withdraw from the race.
CNN noted that Trump’s claims against the former judge were curbed by his assertion in the statement by Sanders that a “mere allegation” should not be enough to “destroy a person’s life.”
“Like most Americans, the president believes we cannot allow a mere allegation, in this case one from many years ago, to destroy a person’s life,” Sanders said. “The president also believes that if these allegations are true, Judge Moore will do the right thing and step aside.”
A Washington Post article reported on four women who say Moore pursued relationships with them as teenagers when he was in his 30s; one of them was 14 when she said he initiated sexual contact between them.
