Assaulted her. Here is what the president said. This is a terrible thing that took place. And it is frankly a terrible thing that this information wasnt given to us a long time ago. Months ago men they gwhen they. Until waiting until everything is finished and then spring it. But that is what the democrats do. It is obstruction, it is resistance, whatever you have to do. With all of that being said, it is a process and we all feel, speaking for all of the republicans, we feel that we want to go through this process and we want to give everybody a chance to say what they have to say.

Correspondent john roberts has more. John . Good afternoon to you, dana. My colleague Doug Mckelway and i both spoke to the same source in the past hour. A person who has spoken with judge kavanaugh since all of this news broke. This person claiming that kavanaugh does not know who Christine Blasey ford is. That even though women who kavanaugh socialized with knew of her and went to school with her, its because they went to school with her that kavanaugh went to georgetown prep, which which is an all boys school and thereby buttressing the allegations that he does not know who this person is.

So President Trump has been asking about buying greenland. The Worlds Largest island which is owned by denmark. But greenlanders have a counteroffer. Greenland is not for sale. More tonight from Cnns Fred Pleitgen whos there. Reporter seems like a lot of folks here in greenland seem to almost be mocking President Trumps alleged idea to acquire this territory or possibly somehow purchase it. The government of greenland has come out and said, quote, greenland is not for sale. And local folks here in the southeast of the country weve been speaking to said, look, this is something america tried in the past, 1867 when there apparently was a push and the time shortly after world war ii and one resident said it simply isnt going to happen. Now on the face of it, it might not be such a crazy idea for america to want to do this.
