President Donald Trump will discuss with aides how the White House and Republicans should deal with embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, an administration official said Tuesday, as party leaders in Congress escalated their fight to force Moore out of the campaign and threatened to expel him if he wins.
The uproar within the GOP grew Monday when a fifth woman came forward to describe Moore’s pursuit of her four decades ago, when she was 16 years old and he was a county prosecutor. She said it eventually led to Moore sexually assaulting her in his car in a darkened restaurant parking lot.
