Second woman comes forward, accuses Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct

Cornyn said that the committee has worked to accommodate Flake’s concerns in how they set up the questioning of Ford and Kavanaugh.

Senate Republicans have been largely indifferent to or skeptical of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who was the first person to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual assault. And when Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, mocked Ford’s accusations in a social media post, Sen. This is what the president had to say yesterday. “I have faith in God and I have faith in the fairness of the American people”, Kavanaugh said.

Kavanaugh, who has strongly denied the charge, will separately appear at the hearing. Sara, thanks for being on the show this morning.

A final vote on Kavanaugh could come early next week, according to a GOP aide not authorized to discuss the plans on the record and who insisted on anonymity. I’ve known him professionally and socially.

Trump said Ford’s allegation was 36 years old “and nobody ever heard about it”. When asked Tuesday if there should be a full FBI investigation about the claims, she said: “Well, it would sure clear up all the questions, wouldn’t it?” “I did not have sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter”.

FAGEN: Yeah, I do. “Just remember you know your dad”.

However, on Sunday The New Yorker magazine published a report of a second allegation in which Deborah Ramirez says Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a 1980s college party at Yale University, forcing her to touch his genitals.

Democratic committee members, he said, will determine on their own how they will interrogate the two.

“If Kavanaugh really wanted to get to the truth, he’d go to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, not Fox News”, she said.

Avenatti, the lawyer for adult film star Stephanie Clifford, who says she had an affair with Trump before he was elected president, said on Twitter that he represents a woman “with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh”. That means she can rely on no contemporaneous witness to corroborate her story. The next four days will determine whether the country spends the next 25 years being told by Brett Kavanaugh what it can and can’t do constitutionally.

Trump says Ramirez says it might not have been Kavanaugh and there were gaps in her memory. His accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, will testify before him in the open session. If you choose to do that, chances are it’s because you want to stop him from joining the Court in the first place, knowing that the likelihood of him being removed later is remote. Women also do not want this accusation to stick to their lives and career, and be defined by a single experience which is actually someone else’s criminal act. Is it possible that you don’t know?

“No, I know Brett”.

“I’m confident we’re going to win”. He’s a little angry.

I think anyone who’s thinking of coming forward will choose to do so before the vote, though. And, you know, Brett’s had to answer a lot of personal questions that he – you know, because of this allegation is now going to have to delve into his very personal details, as you mentioned. “That’s a different decision than ‘is Judge Kavanaugh qualified?'”

FAGEN: And he, I think, through the course of his life has proven he’s a good nominee. “We must respect these women and judge Kavanaugh by handling these allegations with seriousness”, Schumer said on the Senate floor.

With emotions running high, dozens of protesters were removed from the US Capitol Monday for unlawfully demonstrating against the judge’s confirmation. And I understand – we all understand that.

They also point up inconsistencies in her story.
