(Claire Russel, Liberty Headlines) A federal judge in New York denied comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s attempt to dismiss former Alabama Judge Roy Moore’s defamation suit filed against him, CBS News, and Showtime, according to Moore’s attorney, Larry Klayman.
Moore filed a lawsuit against Cohen and the production networks last year, claiming that Cohen inaccurately portrayed him as a pedophile during an episode of “Who is America?”
He sought financial compensation from the networks, citing intentional infliction of emotional distress and fraud.
