While he has not ben clear on what it does mean, he is clear of what it does not mean. He wont touch a potential armed deal with the saudiss. But the republicans had a message for the president , if you dont act, we will. I believe that the Trump Administration will do something, and the president has said that, but if he doesnt, congress will, and that i will tell you with 100 certainty, and almost full unanimity across the board with the republicans and the democrats and a strong congressional response if the saudis lured him into the consulate and murdered him and cut up the body and disposed of it. There is a strong conkoresh nal response. Well, severe action needs to be taken, and the congress is going to take it upon themselves to take that action if it turns out as the press reporting seems to indicate that saudi arabia was involved. Lets go live now to cnns bor are ris sanchez outside of the white house. And boris, privately President Trump has been hesitant to blame the saudis

Heightened emotions. Lets check in on capitol hill now with cnn senior Congressional Correspondent manu raju. Manu, it seems as though finally we have an idea of where this thing is headed and we expect judge kavanaugh to be confirmed later this afternoon, correct . Yes, no question about it. We do expect that to happen by very narrow margin. By one of the narrowest margins in this history of any Supreme Court nominee of 50 to 48 vote we are expecting later today. We have heard all night democrats in particular take the floor, raise their concerns about this nomination, about this process, about these allegations that came out of sexual misconduct. And also some democrats resigned to the fact that theres nothing they can do to stop this. Now, ive had a chance to talk to some members about some of the events that transpired, as well as a third allegation that came out late in the process from a client of the lawyer Michael Avenatti, the woman, julie swetnik, who alleged that Brett Kavan
