Mark Judge’s lawyer says he was interviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

“Even the American Bar Association, which has previously rated Judge Kavanaugh as “well qualified” has called for an FBI investigation, where we could learn more information and other potential witnesses could be interviewed”, Donnelly said. -Betsy Forester, West Virginia voter ” If Joe Manchin votes to confirm Kavanaugh, it will be just one more example of Manchin falling in line to advance his own interests, rather than serving the people and the women of West Virginia”, said Katey Lauer, one of the women involved in the action.

Barbara “Biz” Van Gelder declined to comment about what her client told the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

President Donald Trump says he wants to “see what happens” with the FBI investigation into his embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Walsh has said his client doesn’t know Kavanaugh and has no recollection of ever being at a party with him. “We can’t have this on the court”, he said. For both the judge, and the nation, the stakes are high: If confirmed, Kavanaugh would replace retired Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, the swing vote on a deeply divided court. “I continue to strongly support Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court”.

“The time for endless delay and obstruction has come to a close”, he said. During the committee vote, Flake huddled in a phone booth with Democrat senator Chris Coons.

Flake is retiring after his one six-year Senate term.

GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Jeff Flake are the other key senators. Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination is out of committee. Some Republicans fear that pushing ahead with confirmation could alienate women voters, while Democrats seek to capitalise. “But then it went on, and the interaction with the members was sharp and partisan, and that concerns me”.

The first woman to come forward with allegations against Mr Kavanaugh was psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford. Kavanaugh denies that as well.

In a switch in tactics, Democrats are raising new questions about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s truthfulness when he testified to Congress last week.

Kavanaugh has denied claims of sexual misconduct by three different women. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., “Have you?”

In a statement Sunday, a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh’s said he is “deeply troubled by what has been a blatant mischaracterization by Brett himself of his drinking at Yale”.

Ludington said he was a varsity basketball and that Kavanaugh enjoyed socializing with athletes.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake – speaking after hundreds of protesters packed Boston’s City Hall Plaza to urge him to vote against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh – called for the FBI investigation of the judge to be thorough, but said he’s satisfied with the limitations on it. A frequent Trump critic, he said he would like if “someone” attempted a primary run against the sitting president.

“He has grossly mischaracterized his relationship with alcohol”, Schumer said, characterizing Kavanaugh as someone who “tiptoes around the truth”.

The Democratic leader, and the ranking Democrat on the committee both said recently that an FBI investigation can be completed in less than a week.

“He’s on trial for his life, so is his spouse, so are his parents, so are his kids, and he got mad. I think that’s the height of hypocrisy”.

The FBI has reopened a background investigation to examine allegations of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh dating to when he was in high school and college.

Kavanaugh’s fate is largely dependent on a small number of Republicans who have said they want to see what a limited FBI investigation yields.

Flake now may be siding with some Democrats in demanding a more extensive FBI investigation.

Susan Collins, another undecided Republican, was riding with Murkowski on an underground Senate train. But he added that “my White House will do whatever the senators want”.

Judge has written several books, including one titled “Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk”, and one titled “God and Man at Georgetown Prep: How I Became a Catholic Despite 20 Years of Catholic Schooling”.

Still, Trump slammed Senate Democrats during a campaign rally in Tennessee Monday night.
