McConnell Dismisses Kavanaugh Allegations

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s “good name and his family have been dragged through the mud with a campaign of character assassinations based on allegations that lack any corroboration,” the Washington Post reports.

Despite a reopened background check, McConnell made clear in his speech that Republicans will move ahead on the nomination: “The time for endless delay and obstruction has come to a close. We’ll be voting this week.”
