There's a claim spreading on social media that a reporter was taped while reportedly offering a woman $1000 to accuse Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual improprieties.

The unconfirmed rumor, which seems to have originated from a former Secret Service agent, claims the woman taped the conversation she had with the reporter and sent copies to the Etowah Co. District Attorney and the FBI.

While the claim has yet to be verified, what we do know so far is that prior to accusing Moore of sexual misconduct, the Washington Post endorsed his opponent, Doug Jones, on Oct. 23.

Additionally, Moore's accusers, all of whom allege the incidents occurred decades ago, don't seem to have known each other very well previously, yet all the sudden they appeared in the public spotlight at the same time to make their accusations only weeks before an election with national implications.
