Bernie Sanders Demands FBI Investigate Kavanaugh’s Truthfulness During Hearing
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, White House press secretary, said on “Fox News Sunday” that the White House “is not micromanaging this process”. And at least one other student who knew him at Yale said she finds it “very hard to imagine” he never blacked out.
Later that day on Twitter, Archila shared a photo of her and Gallagher.
The prosecutor joined a private meeting with all Senate Republicans on Thursday after the hearing, where she told the senators that after the eight hours of testimony she heard, she would not have prosecuted Kavanaugh for assault, according to two officials familiar with her remarks. While saying that youthful drinking should not condemn a person for life, Ludington said he was concerned about Kavanaugh’s statements under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee. “With that being said, I’d like it to go quickly”.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the committee, agreed.
Flake, on the other hand, was more forgiving on this point.
“The New York Times reported Sunday evening that the FBI’s “‘limited’ supplemental background check of Judge Kavanaugh could be finished by Monday morning”.
“Look at me and tell me that it doesn’t matter what happened to me”, 23-year-old Gallagher said in the video alongside Archila. John Cornyn, R-Texas, Sen.
The move followed emotional testimony from Ford and Kavanaugh at a committee hearing on Thursday that further roiled emotions and outrage surrounding the nomination for a lifetime appointment to the high court.
Whitehouse described Kavanaugh’s delivery of his remarks at the hearing as “explosively confrontational”.
She highlighted what she said were inconsistencies in Ford’s memory of dates, events and details, including who invited her to the party where the alleged assault occurred, the address of the home where the party took place or how she got to the party.
“Oh yes”, Flake responded. Reportedly excluded from the list were Kavanaugh and Ford; Ford’s husband; Julie Swetnick, a separate accuser; a number of Kavanaugh’s Yale classmates who have come forward to challenge his testimony about his drinking, and any witnesses who could corroborate Ramirez’s or Swetnick’s accounts.
Mitchell was hired by the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to handle Ford’s allegations, after all, which the media will stress – if they cover this aspect at all.
She alleged in a report published on September 23 by The New Yorker magazine that Kavanaugh exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, shoved his penis in her face, forcing her to touch it while pushing him away. “And that should be the scope of it”, Graham said. By “you”, he was referring to the senators.
His request ultimately led to the White House ordering a time-limited Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into the allegations made against the Supreme Court nominee.
“Jeff’s the hero here”, said Coons.
If he had been running for re-election, Flake acknowledged, there is “not a chance” that he would have been able to reach an agreement.
