Presedintele Donald Trump vorbeste cu reporterii inainte de a parasi Casa Alba, marti, 21 noiembrie 2017, la Washington, pentru o excursie de Ziua Recunostintei in mosia Mar-a-Lago din Palm Beach, Fla. Tacuta mai mult de o saptamana, Trump, cu exceptia a aprobat Roy Moore, candidatul Senatului Republican din Alabama, infatisat, scotand acuzatiile de agresiune sexuala impotriva lui si insistand in mod repetat pe alegatori sa nu sustina rivalul „liberal” al lui Moore.

WASHINGTON – Tacut de mai bine de o saptamana, presedintele Donald Trump a aprobat marti candidatul Senatului Republican din Alabama, Roy Moore, martand, reducand acuzatiile de agresiune sexuala impotriva lui si insistand in repetate randuri ca alegatorii nu trebuie sa sustina rivalul „liberal” al lui Moore.
Presedintele a spus ca va anunta saptamana viitoare daca va face campanie pentru Moore, care se confrunta cu democratul Doug Jones la alegerile speciale din 12 decembrie pentru a ocupa locul cand a fost detinut de procurorul general Jeff Sessions.
Trump, care a castigat alegeri, in ciuda faptului ca se confrunta cu mai mult de o duzina de acuzatii de conduita sexuala, a respins intrebarile reporterilor despre sprijinirea unui republican acuzat de agresiune sexuala asupra unui barbat care este democrat. Trump a indicat afirmatiile lui Moore ca nu a facut nimic rau.
“Roy Moore o neaga, asta e tot ce pot spune”, a spus Trump. De fapt, el a repetat de 10 ori intr-o sedinta de 5 minute in afara Casei Albe ca candidatul GOP a negat orice infractiune.
Doua femei din Alabama au acuzat-o pe Moore de agresiune sau molestare – inclusiv una care spune ca avea 14 ani la acea vreme – iar alte sase au spus ca a urmarit relatii romantice cand erau adolescente, iar el a fost avocat adjunct al districtului in 30 de ani.
Trump nu a spus in mod explicit ca il sustine pe Moore, dar a spus cu accent: “Nu avem nevoie de o persoana liberala acolo …
El a mentionat, de asemenea, ca acuzatiile proveneau din comportamentul care se presupune ca s-a intamplat in urma cu zeci de ani.
“Patruzeci de ani este mult timp”, a spus Trump, intrebandu-se de ce a durat atat de mult ca acuzatorii lui Moore sa inainteze.
Former Sen. Sessions has said he has no reason to doubt the allegations against Moore, Republican leaders in Washington have called for Moore to leave the race, and the White House has repeatedly said Trump himself felt Moore would “do the right thing and step aside” if the allegations proved true.
But Trump had been publicly silent until Tuesday when he exchanged questions and answers with reporters, shouting to be heard over the noise of his Marine helicopter, waiting to take him to Air Force One, which then flew him to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, for Thanksgiving.
Liderul majoritatii senatului, Mitch McConnell, si presedintele Camerei, Paul Ryan, ambii republicani, au solicitat lui Moore sa paraseasca cursa in lumina acuzatiilor. Comitetul National Republican si Comitetul Senatorial National Republican si-au atras sprijinul pentru campania sa.
Trump l-a sustinut pe senatorul Luther Strange pe o primara republicana din septembrie, dar s-a mutat repede pentru a-l imbratisa pe Moore dupa ce a castigat. Un oficial al Casei Albe a declarat marti ca atacul lui Trump asupra lui Jones nu a reprezentat o aprobare oficiala a lui Moore, doar ca Trump comunica ca trimiterea democratului la Washington ii va impiedica agenda.
Republican leaders briefly explored the possibility of seeking a write-in candidate but have determined those efforts would only increase Jones’ chances by splitting the GOP vote in the Republican state. Sessions has resisted pleas to mount a last-minute campaign for his old seat.
The allegations against Moore come amid a national reckoning over misdeeds by powerful men in media, business and politics.
Just Tuesday, longtime Michigan Rep. John Conyers acknowledged that his office settled a sexual harassment complaint involving a former staffer, though he “vehemently” denied allegations in the complaint.
BuzzFeed reported that Conyers’ office paid a woman more than $27,000 under a confidentiality agreement to settle a complaint in 2015 that she was fired from his Washington staff because she rejected the Democrat’s sexual advances.

Trump said he was “very happy” that women are speaking out about their experiences.
“I think it’s a very special time because a lot of things are coming out, and I think that’s good for our society and I think it’s very, very good for women,” he said.
More than a dozen women came forward in the waning days of the 2016 presidential election to say that Trump had sexually assaulted or harassed them over the years. He denied it. A tape was also released catching him boasting in 2005 that he could grab women’s private parts with impunity. “When you’re a star, they let you do it,” Trump said on the “Access Hollywood” tape.
Trump, who has said all of his accusers lied, declined to answer Tuesday when asked why he does not believe Moore’s accusers.
Jones, Moore’s senatorial opponent, served as a federal prosecutor in Alabama, where he brought charges against two Ku Klux Klan members over their roles in killing four girls in the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham.
Jones began airing a new ad Monday that features statements made by Sessions, Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby and first daughter Ivanka Trump responding to the allegations against Moore.
Shelby, a fellow Republican, said he will “absolutely not” vote for Moore. Ivanka Trump said there’s “a special place in hell” for people who prey on children.
“I’ve yet to see a valid explanation, and I have no reason to doubt the victims’ accounts,” Ivanka Trump told the AP last week.
The ad was the first direct assault by the Jones camp against Moore on the allegations.
Moore’s camp has begun firing back at the media and one of the accusers. His campaign held an afternoon news conference to vigorously question the account of Beverly Nelson, who said Moore assaulted her when she was a 16-year-old waitress.
The campaign quoted two former restaurant employees and a former customer who said they did not remember Nelson working there or Moore eating there.
