White House puts out a new letter of support for Kavanaugh, signed by 60+ people who attended schools in the area and knew Kavanaugh, calling Julie Swetnick's claims "Nonsense." They add: "We never witnessed any behavior that even approaches what is described in this allegation."pic.twitter.com/dC8i8b607O
Note: These are many of the same people who signed prior letters, not a new universe of people.
“It’s a big fat con job,” Trump says of the accusations against Kavanaugh, repeating his line from his tweet that Democrats are laughing behind the scenes about this.
Asked if the accusers are liars, Trump avoids at first, then says: "And these are all false to me, these are false accusations in certain cases, in certain cases — even the media agrees with that. I can only say that, what they have done to this man is incredible."
Update: On today's 64-person letter released by the White House, 24 of the 65 signatories from the original women backers of Kavanaugh signed, 28 of the 156 signatories from the original Georgetown Prep letter signed, and 12 names (10 men and 2 women) were new.
Trump: "I've had numerous accusations about me. I mean they made false statements about me knowing they were false. I never met them. I never met these people. And what did they do, what did they do? They took money in order to say bad things."
"Well, it does impact my opinion. You know why? Because I've had a lot of false charges made against me," Trump says. "So when you say, does it affect me in terms of my thinking with respect to Judge Kavanaugh. Absolutely, because I've had it many times."
Trump acted like all of the Kavanaugh accusers would be able to testify before the Senate. Thus far, only Dr. Ford is slated to testify.
Per NBC News, a fourth accuser went to Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, and Republicans questioned Kavanaugh about it shortly after noon on Tuesday.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/senate-probing-new-allegation-misconduct-against-kavanaugh-n913581 …
