he confirmed that to nbc news as well as abc news. in this interview with abc news, we saw probably what has been his clearest, most extensive denial of these allegations. he repeatedly said they are not true. he accused the woman repeatedly of lying. at the same time as that interview aired, there's a another article this morning, this one from "the washington post." it's the third news outlet to report they have seen an image of a $700 check walker sent to this woman about a week after she reportedly had her abortion procedure. they have viewed a check printed on an atm slip with walker's name, signature and an address associated with him at the time. nbc news has not independently verified those details. the details we have in "the washington post" today match the details we have heard from the "daily beast" as well as "the new york times." >> in that story that he allegedly pressured her again with another pregnancy to have an abortion. at that point, she did have the child. charlie sykes, walker trying to put his scandals behind
