A federal jury has found that a Democratic super political action committee (PAC) defamed Roy Moore, a former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and U.S. Senate candidate, in a television ad during his failed 2017 U.S. Senate bid in Alabama.
The Senate Majority PAC made a false statement about Moore that was defamatory, the verdict, returned on Aug. 12, states. The PAC also published the statement despite knowing it was false or acting “with reckless regard” as to whether the statement was false, the jury said.
