Trump Responds To Accusations Against Kavanaugh
President Donald Trump has responded to accusations against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh by calling out the Democrats for sitting on the information for weeks; Trump assured the American people that the proper processes will be used moving forward in dealing with the allegation.
“Judge Kavanaugh is one of the finest people that I’ve ever known,” Trump said. “He’s an outstanding intellect and an outstanding judge, respected by everybody, never had even a little blemish on his record. The FBI has, I think, gone through a process six times him over the years, where he went to higher and higher positions. He is somebody very special.”
“At the same time, we want to go through a process, we want to make sure everything is perfect, everything is just right,” Trump continued. “I wish the Democrats could have done this a lot sooner because they had this information for many months and they shouldn’t have waited until literally the last days, they should have done it a lot sooner.”
“But with all of that being said, we want to go through the process,” Trump added. “One thing I will say is that, as I understand it, Judge Kavanaugh spent quite a bit of time with Senator Feinstein and it wasn’t even brought up at that meeting, and she had this information. So you would have thought, certainly, that she would have brought it up at the meeting, not wait until everything’s finished and then have to start a process all over again.”
Trump again doubled-down on making sure that people understand that he wants “to go through a full process” in dealing with the allegation, saying that “it’s important” it happens that way.
Regarding the Democrats’ call to delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote, Trump said: “If it takes a little delay, it will take a little delay. It shouldn’t, certainly, be very much.”
