BRETT KAVANAUGH/HEARING/NOMINATION/SEX ABUSE/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP PEOPLE/WOMEN: “Fighting to salvage his U.S. Supreme Court nomination, Brett Kavanaugh angrily and tearfully denied on Thursday [9-27-18] a university professor’s accusation that he sexually assaulted her 36 years ago and complained about a ‘political hit’ after she told a dramatic Senate hearing she was ‘100 percent certain’ he did it. Christine Blasey Ford, her voice sometimes cracking with emotion, appeared in public for the first time to detail her allegation against Kavanaugh, a conservative federal appeals court judge chosen by President Donald Trump for a lifetime job on the top U.S. court. Ford told the committee she feared Kavanaugh would rape and accidentally kill her during the alleged assault when both were high school students in Maryland. Kavanaugh testified after Ford finished her appearance, and they were never in the hearing room together.”
