(Dalton Bennett/The Washington Post)Days after a woman accused U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual impropriety, two Moore supporters approached her attorney with an unusual request. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Posey told Sexton in a Dec. 5 email that the events Sexton had described by phone did not appear to constitute a federal crime. Lawyer Eddie Sexton briefly represented Leigh Corfman in November 2017 after she publicly accused Roy Moore of sexual impropriety. Sexton said Lantrip told him by phone a short time later that “Bannon’s group” still wanted to talk to him. “Ok buddy call me in the mourning before you get started got some important info from Bannon,” Lantrip wrote on Nov. 15.
