A judge in New York has rejected an attempt by shock comedian Sacha Baron Cohen to dismiss a lawsuit against him by Judge Roy Moore.
Cohen had asked a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit by Moore over a TV segment that made fun of the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice.
Cohen tricked Moore into appearing on the Showtime program “Who is America?” After misrepresenting himself and the program, Cohen got Moore to sign an agreement to waive any right to sue.
But Moore argues in a defamation case seeking $95 million that the waiver is invalid because it was obtained fraudulently.
