  • The woman who said Walker paid for her abortion was Walker's former girlfriend.

  • He denied that he sent her money for an abortion, but said that he could have sent her money later.

  • The woman told The New York Times that Walker encouraged her to have another abortion.

In an interview with NBC News, Herschel Walker confirmed that he dated the woman who accused him of offering her $700 for an abortion.

He said that the woman was the mother of one of his children.

According to The Daily Beast, Walker paid a woman to have an abortion. The woman gave the Daily Beast evidence in the form of a receipt from an abortion clinic, an image of a check signed by Walker, and a card with his signature.

Walker called the report a lie and said he was going to file a lawsuit.

Walker told NBC that he could have sent the materials the woman was referring to, but not for the reasons she was saying.

I don't recall any cards or checks. I was in a relationship with her. I could have given it to someone. Walker said he could have sent a card.

Walker's former partner sent a text to Walker's wife. If Walker's wife knew that Walker asked her to have an abortion, the woman would tell her husband.

It makes me sad. According to NBC, Walker's wife said she had tried to bridge a better relationship between her husband and Herschel.

According to The New York Times, the woman accused Walker of encouraging her to have a second abortion, but she did not. Through custody reports and an interview with a friend of Walker's accuser, the Times supported the Daily Beast's reporting.

Walker and the woman broke up soon after.

Walker said that she has been angry at him for a long time. She is an advocate for abortion rights.

Walker is in a close race to become a senator.

Although the allegations coming out will probably not hurt Walker's support among hard-line Republicans, it could cause some to distance themselves from him. GOP leaders have supported Walker.

According to a CNN report, Donald Trump is keeping his distance from Scott Walker, despite endorsing him in the past.
