NOMINATION/SEX ABUSE/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP PEOPLE/WOMEN: “President Trump said on Wednesday [9-26-18] that the accusations against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, his Supreme Court nominee, ‘are all false,’ but also said that he ‘can always be convinced’ after watching the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused the judge of attempted rape. In a rambling and combative news conference during which he lashed out against Democratic senators, Mr. Trump said that his own opinion about Judge Kavanaugh’s case is affected by the many allegations of sexual misconduct that have been leveled against him by women in the past…Speaking in New York, where he was attending the United Nations General Assembly, Mr. Trump repeatedly refused to give a direct answer to whether he thought the three women who have accused Judge Kavanaugh of misconduct are liars.”
