Ohio Senate Campaign Controversy

One week before the primary election, the Associated Press reported that a profile on the Adult FriendFinder website was established in 2008 using Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno's email account from his car dealership. Moreno denied knowledge of the account. The campaign used legal threats and public pressure to counterattack the story, with support from Trump and others. Moreno's lawyer sent cease-and-desist letters to TV stations running attack ads against him. The story is considered strange and involves conflicting statements.
