From the New York Times:

In a series of interviews, the woman said Mr. Walker had barely been involved in their now 10-year-old son’s life, offering little more than court-ordered child support and occasional gifts.

The woman disclosed the new details about her relationship with Mr. Walker, who has anchored his campaign on an appeal to social conservatives as an unwavering opponent of abortion even in cases of rape and incest, after the former football star publicly denied that he knew her. He called her “some alleged woman” in a radio interview on Thursday.

The interviews and documents provided to The Times together corroborate and expand upon an account about her abortion first published on Monday in The Daily Beast. The Times also independently confirmed details with custody records filed in family court in New York and interviewed a friend of the woman to whom she had described the abortion and her eventual breakup with Mr. Walker as those events occurred.

The woman reportedly provided documents to back up her allegations including her paternity suit and documentation of child support payments from Walker. She says Walker has seen his son only a handful of times. Walker denies all the allegations. Read more at the New York Times. In related news, on Wednesday Walker fired Taylor Crowe, his campaign’s political director. Not a good sign a month out from Election Day.

Some news out of Georgia — Herschel Walker’s campaign #cut ties with its political director this week, just weeks before Election Day. Taylor Crowe was fired Wednesday.
