BRETT KAVANAUGH/DEMS/SENATE/SEX ABUSE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein is calling President Donald Trump’s attack on her handling of an allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh ‘ridiculous and an embarrassment.’ The ranking member of the Judiciary Committee is again denying she breached the confidence of Christine Blasey Ford, who claimed Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. Kavanaugh denied the allegation. Feinstein says: ‘Dr. Blasey Ford knows I kept her confidence, she and her lawyers said so repeatedly. Republican senators admit it. Even the reporter who broke the story said it wasn’t me or my staff. The president’s remarks are ridiculous and an embarrassment.’ At a political rally in Iowa on Tuesday, Trump alleged Feinstein leaked the allegation to sink Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The crowd chanted ‘Lock her up!'”
