‘It’s a very scary time for young men in America’

“You have to say within reason”, Trump said.

She added, “The witnesses that she named have either denied those claims or can not corroborate, which I do believe hurt her even more so”.

CNN was told that on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell informed the White House that Republican Sens.

The US president was speaking in response to the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, his nominee for the Supreme Court. Dianne Feinstein of California said Tuesday was too soon to “put all the facts together”.

■In the past few days, as the FBI has begun its investigation, new allegations have surfaced in the media, including one from Chad Ludington, one of Kavanaugh’s classmates and a member of the Yale basketball team. Dudley and Cozzolino didn’t immediately return messages on Tuesday.

On Monday evening, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders sought to downplay the incident and called The Times’ report “ridiculous”. And here’s what the American Bar Association had to say about him after interviewing more than 100 fellow judges and lawyers who know and have appeared before him: “Lawyers and judges overwhelmingly praised Judge Kavanaugh’s judicial temperament”.

He says it’s important that senators have a chance to ask directly about what the FBI investigated, what evidence they collected and who they interviewed.

None of the other four she said were at the party recall being there. Amy Klobuchar (D – Minn.) on whether or not he had ever had a night where he “drank so much that [he] couldn’t remember what happened”, the Kavanaugh responded, “I think you’ve probably had beers, Senator…” Scrutiny has been building this week on Kavanaugh, not only because of the accusations, but because of his testimony at that hearing. “The politics of personal destruction were willfully unleashed”.

In that instance, Vice-President Mike Pence has the casting vote, and would go in Judge Kavanaugh’s favour. Trump has likewise denied the allegations made against him.

Kavanaugh’s confirmation hinges on a small group of moderate senators who have not revealed how they plan to vote. NBC News reports he might have discussed the matter with fellow Yale alumni before the story’s publication. Joe Manchin’s campaign office in Charleston and were charged early Tuesday. The protesters wanted Manchin to commit to opposing Kavanaugh’s potential confirmation to the court. It came after dramatic, emotional testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last Thursday from Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford.

“Even if you want to discount what happened when he was 15 in high school and 18 in college, you can not discount what he is saying and professing at age 53 when it flies in the face of being truthful”, Schumer said.

The same poll also saw differences along gender lines: 47% of men polled believed the judge while 55% of women believed Prof Ford. The subjects of his classes ranged from the separation of powers to the Supreme Court – the subject of the course he’s no longer teaching. Former Justice Anthony Kennedy taught a class in Salzburg, Austria, for years that was run my the McGeorge School of Law.

But Ford has not heard from the FBI as of Tuesday morning as questions mount about the extent of the agency’s investigation, her team said told CNN. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.

Ernst is among six Republican women in the Senate.

A woman has accused him of sexually assaulting her when they were at school in 1982. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and other lawmakers, the Senate last Friday agreed the FBI could investigate for up to a week, meaning its deadline is this Friday.

Democrats are also questioning Kavanaugh’s honesty, particularly over statements he made about his drinking in high school and college. If Judge Kavanaugh’s opponents want to claim he lied about his drinking when he was younger, perhaps they should stop lying about what he actually said.

“The goal posts keep shifting”, he said on the Senate floor as he accused Democrats of devising endless delays.
