Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon had “nothing to do” with a woman who tried to dupe the Washington Post earlier this month by falsely claiming that Alabama Senate GOP candidate Roy Moore once impregnated her, a source close to Bannon told the Washington Examiner.

The Post reported Monday that a woman approached two of its reporters in early November, claiming to have had a relationship with Moore when she was 15 years old that led to a terminated pregnancy. The woman’s story contained a handful of inconsistencies, according to the Post, which ultimately decided against publishing it.
