FBI/NOMINATIONS/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday [9-18-18] that the FBI should not investigate a California professor’s allegations of sexual assault against Trump’s pick for U.S. Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, adding that he wants his nominee confirmed quickly…U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee members had been scheduled to vote on Thursday on the federal judge’s nomination to the Supreme Court, but that changed after allegations from Christine Blasey Ford that Kavanaugh tried to sexually assault her while they were high school students. Kavanaugh has denied the accusation. The panel’s Republican chairman, Senator Chuck Grassley, said he would postpone the vote and would now hold a hearing with both Kavanaugh and his accuser on Monday [9-17-18].”
