Attorneys for former Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore and the comedian Sacha Baron Cohen appeared before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Friday, with Moore’s attorney Larry Klayman urging the three-judge panel to reverse the district court ruling dismissing Moore’s suit.

Moore sued Cohen in 2018, accusing him of defamation and fraudulent inducement in connection with Moore’s 2018 appearance on Cohen’s television show “Who Is America?” in which Cohen claimed to be an anti-terrorism expert wielding a device that could detect sex offenders and pedophiles.
