It's not that he's done wrong, and he's trying to hide it. Most politicians and people try to do that - hopefully not about something as bad as what he did.
It's that he believes he's done nothing wrong. Remember, this guy thinks he had the authority from his god to put a monument to the 10 Commandments in the courthouse and to tell lower courts in Alabama to ignore the Supreme Court's decision on marriage equality. In his mind, it's God, Jesus, then him, and he's on a mission to force America to become Christian, to illegalize homosexuality, and to make non-Christians second-class citizens, and it's not what he wants. He honestly believes that's what God has told him what to do, and in order to do God's will, he is either unaccountable to the rest of us, or God wants him to lie and deny about what he did so God's instrument, Roy Moore, can be used according to divine will.

But it sounds like he knew her through divorce court.
Something aint right about that whole account from Moore's side, why would his lawyers contridict his other public statements ?!
