Trump Defends Supreme Court Nominee As Accuser Faces Deadline

According to a report by Reuters, on Wednesday, President Donald Trump defended his US Supreme Court nominee, claiming that it would be hard to imagine Brett Kavanaugh committed a sexual assault while he was in high school and that it would be unfortunate if his accuser failed to testify before the Senate. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley reportedly set a Friday morning deadline for Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh's accuser, to decide if she will talk to lawmakers.
