The hit story involves a profile posted in 2008 on a casual sexual encounter website called Adult Friend Finder. The profile, exposed in a website data breach, was created using internal emails and literature used on the website of a company owned by Moreno.

A hit article was broadcast that questioned the The Associated Press, by its own admission, lacked evidence linking Moreno to the account.
Grenell said Moreno must go after the AP’s biased reporting.

A former Trump administration official said the article was “fake news that absolutely helps Democrats.”

Mr. Grenell accused Mr. Dolan of bowing to a “woke” mob, and said the operatives pushing the idea favored Mr. Moreno’s America First positions, including his opposition to endless aid to Ukraine. He said no.
Grenell said, “Matt Dolan, who bowed to the ‘woke’ mob to change the name of the Cleveland Indians, failed to stand up enough to the woke mob in Cleveland and Ohio and asked the senator to… I have no right to be.” He’s a charlatan, he’s weak, and all the operatives who are pushing this story, all the operatives who don’t like America First, all the operatives who worked to push this story, and this story. All operatives working to promote should come out. We need to know exactly who is pushing this narrative for partisan political gain, and they should be known as the promoters of disinformation and fake news. ”
