Corfman is not seeking financial damages beyond legal costs, but instead is asking for a public apology from Moore and an injunction on him or his campaign publicly attacking her in the future, according to The Washington Post.
Of course, Moore has not even conceded the election (despite the results being finalized by Republican officials). It has now been almost a month since he lost.
Instead of fulfilling his pledge to file for defamation, Moore filed a meritless complaint with the federal court seeking to postpone the certification of Doug Jones as the winner of the election. In the complaint, he represented that he took a polygraph that proved his innocence (an irrelevant addition to the election fraud complaint). However, he and his staff have refused to release the polygraph or details on the test. His spokeswomen, who has previously made bizarre statements on behalf of Moore, insisted that the test completely vindicated Moore but could offer nothing on who administered the test or what was asked:
Of course, lie detector or polygraph results are generally inadmissible in court. We will have the far more probative evidence of live testimony if this case moves forward to deposition and trial. If Moore’s team is correct, he has nothing to fear and everything to gain.
Moore has continued to raise money for his election challenge despite the certification of Jones and his admission to the Senate. As for his long promised defamation lawsuit, the clock is still ticking.
