The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Senate floor.
However, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) voted with the condition that there would be a one-week delay for a further FBI investigation in the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.
New York Times: “The decision put a cloud over what Republicans expected to be a triumphant day, but they still had reason to be optimistic: Despite adamant Democratic opposition, they were still able to muscle the nomination through committee with an 11-to-10 vote and send it to the full Senate with a favorable recommendation.”
