President trump modems ago, defending the Supreme Court nominee, blasting democrats for holding up the nominee, withholding information. We are looking to get this done as quickly as possible. He is a truly outstanding person, as you know, hes got an unblemished record. This is a terrible thing that took place, its frankly a terrible thing that this information wasnt given to us a long time ago, months ago when they got it. They could have done that instead of waiting until everything was finished. Thats what the democrats do, its obstruction, resist, whatever you have to do. With all of that being said, its a process that we all feel, speaking for all of the republicans, we feel we want to go through this process and give everybody a chance to say what they have to say. President trump there just a few moments ago, going on to say the fbi should not be involved in investigating claims of Sexual Misconduct because its not their thing and they dont really want to, anyway. Meanwhile, Bre
Effort that his republican colleagues had staunchly rejected, this notion of an fbi investigation into Christine Blasey fords allegation that judge kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. Republican senator jeff flake made this request just before the Senate Judiciary committee voted to send kavanaughs nomination to the full senate floor. I have been speaking with a number of people on the other side, weve had conversations ongoing for a while with regard to making sure that we do Due Diligence here, and i think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than one week in order to let the fbi continue to do an investigation, limited in time and scope, to the current allegations that are there. Limit in time to no more than one week. And i will vote to advance the bill to the floor with that understanding. Lets take you now straight to capitol hill to sunlen serfaty. Tell me whats happening in Mitch Mcconnells office. There is a huddle g
Spoke to this yesterday in an interview he gave to one of his allies. I think we have that video. If we can take a look at it. I think they have been very respectful of dr. Ford. Extremely respectful. Its already been delayed a week. Thats a long time. Let her speak but Brett Kavanaugh is one of the finest people youll ever meet. Top of the line in every way. This is a shame. This is actually a shame. Look, it was just a few days ago, maybe four days ago the president in the oval office where he said a little delay is okay. She deserves to be heard. Now he said lets get this thing wrapped up. What accounts for that white house officials know the public polling on kavanaugh is tanking and up until this point the thinking had been if we need to withdraw his nomination we need to leave enough time on the calendar to push through someone new before the november midterms if thats even possible because its not a sure thing that republicans will keep control of congress or the senate beyond t
Shot down a the New York Times report that he discussed recording the president and invoking the 25th amendment, but is it enough to save his job . We have great people in the department of justice. Theres a lingering stench, and were going to get rid of that, too. And why politics is really thicker than blood for an arizona congressman seeking reelection. The congressman isnt doing anything to help rural america. Pauls absolutely not working for his district. Paul gosar is my brother, and i endorse dr. Grill. Just in to us here the last couple of hours, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of Sexual Misconduct has now agreed to testify next week before the Senate Judiciary committee, but at this hour, attorneys for Christine Blasey ford want more time to finalize the details. They requested to talk this afternoon with Senate Judiciary staff to do just that. The white house has responded to the latest development in a statement reading this seems like another delay
Outside trump tower in new york where the president just arrived here in new york ahead of the u. N. General assembly. Jessica, tell us more about whats going to happen on thursday and what still has to be worked out. Yeah, anna, there are still several sticking points for bla blasey fords team. The committee is only scheduled to hear from blasey ford herself as well as judge kavanaugh, her attorneys had wanted trauma experts to testify as well as other people who were supposedly at that party, but to that end the committees chairman, chuck grassley, has issued a lengthy statement on this saying that the committee has already been investigating for the past week plus and theyve talked to all four people who were allegedly at that party and the committee is now reiterating that all four of those people, including judge kavanaugh, say they have no recollection or knowledge of this alleged party where blasey ford said the Sexual Assault took place. In addition, they say they have tried to
