‘This Is Called Democracy’: Graham Reacts to Flake’s Call for One-Week Delay in Kavanaugh Vote (FOX News)
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reacted to the surprise call by Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake for an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh, despite voting to send his nomination to the Supreme Court to the full Senate.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-10 in favor of recommending Kavanaugh on Friday.
Flake had been undecided before announcing his support for the nominee earlier in the day. He said before the vote that he, in agreement with Democrats, would be calling for a one-week delay to allow the FBI to investigate.
“You know what you know, and you’ve heard what you’re gonna hear,” Graham said to reporters following the hearing. “But having said that, this is called democracy.” [Read More]

Kavanaugh friend Mark Judge agrees to cooperate with FBI probe, denies latest allegations (FOX News)
The high school friend of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, whose name has been drawn into the allegations leveled against the Supreme Court nominee by several women, said Friday he would cooperate with any law enforcement investigation that will “confidentially” probe the allegations, which he “categorically” denies.
In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Friday, Mark Judge, denied the latest round of accusations brought against him and Kavanaugh by Julie Swetnick—the client of Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti.
Swetnick accused Kavanaugh and Judge of making unwanted sexual advances at women while at parties in high school in the early 1980s, drugging the “punch” at parties, and participating in “gang rapes” and “train rapes.” Swetnick claims she is a victim of gang rape, and said that both Judge and Kavanaugh were there to watch the incident.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he had ordered the FBI to conduct a “supplemental investigation” into an allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted out Trump’s statement Friday afternoon. [Read More]
