Trump Says Kavanaugh Is ‘Under Assault’ By Democrats

President Trump defended Brett Kavanaugh as a “fine man” who is “under assault” by Democrats whom he says are trying to use sexual assault allegations to keep him off the Supreme Court, The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay. Facts don’t matter. I go through this with them every single day in D.C.”

He added that Christine Blasey Ford should have filed charges against Kavanaugh if the attack she alleges occurred when they were in high school “was as bad as she says.”

Axios: “Until now, Trump has shown restraint and hasn’t questioned Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford. That ended with this morning’s tweet.”
