Moore had failed to pay hundreds of thousands in alimony and child support, court documents show.

Stephen Moore, visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, appears during a Bloomberg Television interview March 22. President Donald Trump said he is nominating Moore, a longtime supporter of the president, for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board.

Stephen and Allison Moore, who have three children together, were married for two decades before divorcing in 2011. Allison Moore began divorce proceedings in 2010, and her divorce complaint said her then-husband opened a Match.com account and had a mistress. The contempt of court was first reported by the Guardian. Allison Moore then petitioned to seal the records. The divorce records were unsealed Friday after an appeal by The Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Guardian.

Reached Friday via email, he told The Washington Post, “This payment issue was only settled six years ago.” He pointed to a statement his ex-wife made earlier this week that “we hope the media would respect our privacy. We remain on cordial terms.” Stephen Moore has repeatedly praised marriage and homes with a “devoted husband and wife” as the best cure against poverty and other social ills. He wrote a commentary in the Washington Examiner titled “Marriage, the surest economic stimulus,” in October 2014, about a year after the court had to compel him to pay his ex-wife child support and alimony.

This guy gets schooled all the time on CNN

All of Cheeto’s friends are creeps.

Another Trump nominee who has run a foul of he Law. Does he even bother vetting the people he nominates.I don't think so. In fact I think he feels more secure with criminals surrounding him. He feels a KINSHIP with people like himself

So why was he constantly on CNNPolitics CNN?

Lock him up and sent him back home

TrumpCrimeSyndicate bestpeople

What else is new with his nominees

America making white collar criminals great again.

this is realDonaldTrump 's league. what do you expect?

Another swamp creature will be added to Trum administration. When will swamp drain. The alligators are multiplying under Trump hiring the crooks.

This guy is a piece of Sh.....it

...this is private, none of our business.

Perfectly qualified for Trump train. Total dirtbag will fit right in.

So sad!!! More TRUMP like people with Honesty, integrity, cedibility issues!!! How Can a man not take responsibility for his Family and his actions?

LeChatNoire4 Hell, he's going to fly through confirmation!

Alibaba and his 40 thief's ,all criminals THE FINE AND THE BEST HAHAHAHAHA

Trump's kind of guy.

Making sure both stephenmoore and hermancain get appointed to the federal reserve, is one of the most effective strategies Democrats can have for 2020. completeincompetence

😠

Meet Trump's latest nominee -- deadbeat husband! Imagine what he can do to the country's finances...

All the best people! some swamp drainer.

then he's the perfect fit for the trump administration.

What a guy! Sounds like he’s PERFECT for this administration.

Hang him

WAPO IS BLAH BLAH BLAH

So Trump offers another corrupt person Stephen Moore a government position? Does Trump know anyone who is not corrupt?

just, another one, of trumps, puppets'don't trust him!

Where is Hillary, I meant Crooked Hillary.

Go figure

😁😂🤣

🤮🤮

Another good choice on trumps part. He does not care what he is doing to our country

Only the best

Lol n this guy was on CNN. Hes a joke too

KattyKayBBC Wow! We know the guy is incompetent: blinded by ambition and a willingness to say or do anything for Trump. Maybe this kills his nomination. Maybe. In Trumpworld maybe not. maggieNYT hughhewitt ChrisCuomo

Hit piece. FAKE NEWS

I see Fusion GPS is still earning their wapo money.

Figures....The Fed is supposed to be autonomous......

Nice

What a dirt bag. Moore name should be withdrawn from Fed consideration!

Rich people problems

KattyKayBBC No wonder he’s a star in Trump’s eyes.

Stephen Moore is no example of an honest man. Disrespecting his ex-wife with money owed only proves he is in line for an appointment from Trump.

Typical Trump crony

The 'very best people' time and time again.

Shouldn’t he be in jail?

Trump’s best is society’s worst.

Just had to get Trump's name in there...huh?

August 2018: Poll: Most Americans think Trump doesn't 'hire the best people'

Only the very “worst” for this admin will do. GOP must be sooooo proud.

He can't shine Robert Reich's shoes

In this administration? I believe that’s considered a plus.

Amyides Why would a strong independent woman in the year 2019 need money from a white male? I understand child support but alimony come on.

Lol. Keep spilling the tea. If he is voted in I know why.

What happened to the idea of personal responsibilities by the Conservatives?

Irrelevant

thebestpeople

Well, welll look at who has dirt under his nails. Spoke as righteous person on CNN interviews but not the case. Just another dead beate

The best swamp creatures.

Another one of Trumps only the best people. What a joke.

So what

I think Trump needs to replace him ASAP!

Sounds like his kind of guy actually

He only hires the best people.

What a moron, especially considering the fact that ALL $333K is 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE. FoolishPride Alimony AliMONEY

These people are unqualified.

Another great example of Trumps judgement

Going to be a lot of rich divorced Republican wives after this! Wooohooo!

He's perfect ! Hire him ! Investigation to soon follow ! Moo!

His advocacy group violated Fair Election practices, he touted faithful marriages as economic security while having an affair, he didn’t pay court ordered divorce settlement or taxes. Hmmm, more of Trump’s BestPeople ?

The best people. Man, where does Trump find so many crooked people?. He should pardo and hire El Chapo, he'll fit perfectly.

It happens - there are plenty ppl on the other side that have issues

The best and brightest

And? Your point being?

He’ll fit right in

Just the kind of stooge that Trump loves.

Stephen Moore is not qualified to hold any jobs anywhere due to his lack of honesty and decency.

Why would we want a financially responsible person for the Fed when we could have this guy? 🤔

Perfect example showing how some wealthy stay wealthy. They cheat and bilk people out of money owed. Just ask all of the contractors and electrical workers who Trump screwed via all of his bankruptcies. But, Moore is a “fine man” as Trump would say.

Sounds nice

Another one of “the best” that Trump promised to bring into his administration! Actually, just another disgrace!

He is using Trump tactics. You own to samebody just do not pay.

Yet CNN keeps paying him to spread lies.

Now Trump will want to appoint him even more than before

Only the best people! ImpeachTrump

DEM mrennendez..felon.crook. Frnate.hmmm

Crash and burn....

A local Credit Union wouldn't allow him on the board. Somehow Stephen Moore is Federal Reserve Board worthy? I don't think so. Maybe 7-11 Assistant Shift Manager.

Only the best...

at least he FINALLY got kicked off CNN. Couldn't stand his constant lying....

Only the best people right stable genius.

Trump’s swamp is full of them!

RrResister

Disqualified. Full stop.

ONLY the best?

Deadbeats of a feather flock together.

He’ll fit right in there with Herman ‘999’ Cain, and Linda ‘WWF’ McMahon, and all the other freaks

Seems to fit the band of grifters currently occupying White House. No more TV spots for this fella.

Birds of s feather

Sounds about right for a member of the Trump Contempt of Wife Club !

That’s the guy we want controlling interest rates! Fucktards

He should fit in. He has contempt for the judiciary and he doesn't pay taxes.

Well then why didn’t Trump nominate him? Wouldn’t this criminal behavior make him an ideal Trump nominee? I’m confused.

It seems like if you are not an illuminati jew, you won't allowed in that Rosthchild's bank?

One more member of donald’s club...

Do not allow this -what a chump

Donald give Stephen a Loan.

Trumps kind of person

But I thought Trump only picks the best. Ugh.

Why should he pay her $333,000? Isn't there any Gender equality there? They claim that a woman can do everything a man can but still when you're divorced you need a man's money to keep yourself up? Why can't you work and fund yourself? I don't get this damn law regarding divorce.

Just your typical tRUmp nominee. No sleaze in your past, no nomination.

Trump thinks he’s perfect!

The Best People - believe me!

Yes, just the type of person the WH troll likes

Good candidate for the swamp

The swamp grows.

Sounds like a typical trump felon

The best people

Real question. Do nominees have to pass a credit check?

Maybe he’s bad with money. What could go wrong?

“Only the best people”

Only the best! bebestbullshit

This should be disqualifying

Drop him. He's a partisan hack, anyway. Partisanship does not belong on the Fed Board.

Personally all of Trump's nominees are contemptible, so.... :P

Can any of us keep track of all the GOP corruption?

EllenDatlow Family values, y'all!

nice...keep up the great work in hiring 'competent' 'upstanding' persons...if it wasn't so pathetically wrong it would be laughable but guess what ...no one is laughing any more.

“I hire the best people.”

Only the BEST people

The swamp continues...

You know who a person is by the people they surround himself herself with... he’s BEEN telling us who he is for a while...

You're hired

Very fine people.

Well, another Trump 'dream date' of an entitled white man. Gawd, all of Trump's nominees are disgusting people.

Another tiny trump felony appointment

Everyone one around Trump is criminal. Birds of a feather flock together

realDonaldTrump only surrounds himself with the “best” people!

This used to be our vice president

And the rest of the story you left out purposely, Washington Post?

He did the right thing. She was a cheating jezebel.

Only the left Democratic Cult Believe anything from the Washington post, You’re being dishonest with malice, will find out in a couple of days it just took a few extra months to sell some property something reasonable, and you just create damaging headlines

Trumps kind of guy🤨

More muck for the swamp.

He’s a terrible “economist” ( self-proclaimed) - likely he doesn’t even understand basic finance. 😂

According to plan of mobster Putin his spy Trump must destroy dollar too. Spy Trump will do this with help of criminals by FED. World must expect big inflation in the US and fall of dollar. Or remove russian spy Trump now. ImpeachTheMFTraitor Impeach45 ImpeachTrumpPence

imagine that

Deadbeat Fed

Of course why not another trump appointee in legal trouble

At least he can lower interest rates to help him save money on his loan

First, contempt of court. Next, contempt for the entire American populace.

Maybe he thought Supply Side would make it disappear.

only the best

trumpdumpnow tRump knows the best people the best!

That Trump. He really knows how to pick them. The administration of criminals.

And that $75K IRS bill......

Trump the grifter in chief hires only grifters.

Well at least ya haven't accused him of rape, but then the month is young.

Certainly looks like a great guy! Hahahahaha!!!! Looks like he will fit in perfectly!!!!!!

Not only did Stephen Moore stiff his wife, the man has bizarre economic theories based on a gold standard.

Only the best people from the bottom of the barrel.

princss6 Stephen Moore's ex-wife deserves every penny of the $333,000 he owes her in Alimony. She deserves more for living with that windbag.

The best people

realDonaldTrump , next . Dont you check anything ?

...only the best people.

realDonaldTrump you hire the best people

Oh well. Shrillary committed treason

More dirt....from an old settled case

That's a PERSONAL MATTER. WaPoneeds to get themselves some business AND STAY out of his

So

Omg, if he triples it he can join THEHermanCain ‘s 999 club. realDonaldTrump nominees movin’ and groovin’ together.

Privacy concerns be damned ... media get unsealed court divorce records to report on 6-yr old messy personal affair since resolved to derail appointment to the Fed.

Only the BEST trash can ferment in this compost heap once known as the White House.

TrumpAdministration continues to scrape the barrel 💩show

Lock him up

Bshdh sjid dj

The person that wrote this is probably an alcoholic that stalks their exes. Go figure.

Whoooops…

Owes $70,000 in back taxes!

Ooo-that’s a powerful number!

A mere pittance to what you'll be paying CovingtonBoys! 🤣

Divorce can be ugly.

Trump’s Fed nominee Stephen Moore was found in contempt of court for failing to pay ex-wife more than $333,000. Trump picks only the best people

Says who?

Bezos Divorce Model - Be Best!

He's a good choice for the Fed though. Libertarian leanings. Former Cato guy.

But he’s the best choice 🤔

Just scraping the bottom of the cesspool...oh,hey look! There’s Herman Cain down there too!

on the trump corruption scale, not paying your ex wife is just a nosh on a tuesday afternoon.

Of course he was - he’s a Republican for cripe’s sake!

He owes taxes!

Why do you think trump wanted him to lead the Fed? BECAUSE he was trying to get out of paying

Hiring awful humans is a feature, not a bug

Gee, now we see why he is Trump's friend - a questionable background and absolutely no qualifications for a position on the Fed. Just another step in the Miller masterplan to have Trump become the 21st Century 'Hitler'. He cares nothing for this country, you fools.

DEADBEAT

You don't know what she put him through.

So

It’s amazing how there is no act of scumbaggery too small for this administration of malignant criminals

Only the best

BFD

He can't even handle his own finances.

Feature not bug

☑ Thoughts and prayers. ☐ But her emails. ☑ Winter is coming ☐ What about her server? ☑ Womp Womp. ☐ WITCH HUNT! ☐ National Emergency ☑ I don't really care, do u? ☐ Be Best. ☐ No colusion. ☐ No smocking gun. ☑ What about Obama? ☐ Build the Wall ☐ All of the above

Well that's no good. Where are POTUS vetting people? Do I have to come over there? Do I have to stop this car? Note: not paying so can't read rest of article - could be fakenews GOPChairwoman

Such a tool!

Just seems like as every day passes, Moore's cred as one of Trump's bestest grows/

Disqualifying.

That’s actually considered a strong attribute when interviewing with the TrumpCrimeFamily.
