A lawsuit that former U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore filed against comedian Sacha Baron Cohen will be heard in New York.
A federal judge on Monday ordered the case transferred from Washington, D.C., in accordance with a waiver Moore signed before appearing on the comedian’s television show.
Moore filed a defamation lawsuit over his appearance on “Who is America?”
The former state chief justice says he thought he was receiving an award for supporting Israel. Instead, Cohen lampooned him as a possible pedophile in connection with sexual misconduct allegations that arose during the 2017 Senate race. Moore denied the allegations.
