Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear Roy Moore's appeal of a lower court ruling that had thrown out an $8.2 million defamation jury verdict he won over a 2017 campaign ad. The ad, funded by a Democratic-aligned super PAC during his Senate race, recounted sexual misconduct allegations against him. The decision ends Moore's legal fight over the ad.
