Brett Kavanaugh News
Brett Kavanaugh has been recently appointed as the US Supreme Court Justice.
Overcoming unprecedented opposition mounted by Democrats and a series of allegations of sexual assault, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, 53, was confirmed by the Senate on the nine-member bench of the Supreme Court.
The full confirmation vote could take place as early as Saturday.
Five days after an extraordinary Senate hearing watched by millions of people in which university professor Christine Blasey Ford detailed her sexual assault allegation against Kavanaugh, Trump raised the issue of false accusations against men.
Flake`s intervention means a final Senate vote on the nomination could be delayed for up to a week so that the possible FBI investigation can be completed.
President Donald Trump on Friday reaffirmed support to his embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Christine Blasey Ford appeared in public for the first time to detail her allegation against Kavanaugh, a conservative federal appeals court judge chosen by President Trump for a lifetime job on the top US court.
In the second day of testimony, Kavanaugh declined to comment on Trump`s criticism of the judiciary or offer praise of the president`s character.
Trump picked Justice Kavanaugh from his original list of 25 judges, from which he had said he would nominate for any vacancy in the Supreme Court.
