BRETT KANVANAUGH/SEX ABUSE/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “President Donald Trump said Friday [9-28-18] he found the testimony by a woman who said she was sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh decades ago to be ‘very compelling,’ but added that he’d given no consideration to the idea of nominating someone else. ‘Not even a little bit,’ Trump said. The president told reporters that Christine Blasey Ford ‘was a very credible witness’ but also that Kavanaugh’s own testimony on Thursday [9-27-18] before the Senate Judiciary Committee was ‘an incredible moment.’ Reiterating his support for Kavanaugh, Trump said, ‘I think it will work out very well for the country.’ The president also expressed confidence in the confirmation process as an 11th-hour demand from a key Republican senator again threatened to derail the timeline for a Senate vote.”
