According to a Federal Election Commission the GOP establishment continues to break ties with the Alabama Senate candidate. The National Republican Senatorial Committee was the first among them to drop itself from the agreement, reported CNN.

The Alabama Republican Party and Moore's official senatorial campaign are the two fund joint fundraising agreement left supporting Moore in the campaign.

This came after few women stepped forward, saying Moore pursued relationships with them when they were teenagers.
