MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 3, 2018 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Judge Roy Moore:

At a press conference on April 30, 2018 announcing the filing of a defamation lawsuit against my accusers, a reporter asked me if I had plans to run for public office again. "I have no plans at this time for running for anything," I said. The reporter continued: "Not even Governor?" I answered: "No."

The Associated Press then sent out a story, picked up by Time Magazine, that misquoted me as saying I had "no plans to run for any office again, including that of Alabama governor."

To clarify, as I said in my response, I have no plans at this time to run for office. Nevertheless, plans change. If the opportunity arises to make a difference, I will have no reluctance to again run for political office, including that of Governor.
