Another reason Trump hasn’t gone to the mat for Kavanaugh is that he’s said to be suspicious of Kavanaugh’s establishment pedigree. “‘He’s a Bush guy, why would I put myself out there defending him?’” Trump told people, according to a former White House official briefed on the conversations.
The above is another example of FAKE news.
President Trump says he feels 'terribly' for Brett Kavanaugh
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Tuesday he feels "terribly" for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and blamed "obstructionist" Democrats for using allegations of sexual assault to delay his confirmation.
"This is not a man who deserves this," Trump said of his nominee during a press conference.
Trump said he has not spoken with Kavanaugh about Christine Blasey Ford's accusation that he sexually assaulted her at a high school party in 1982.Trump had said he thought it was a "good idea not to" talk to the judge about the matter.
"Hopefully the woman will come forward, state her case. He will state his case, before representatives of the United States Senate, and then they will vote."
Trump, who made the remarks during a joint press conference with Poland's President Andrzej Duda, reaffirmed his confidence in Kavanaugh and said he does not think an FBI investigation of allegations against him is necessary.
Kavanaugh and Ford had been expected to testify before a high-stakes Senate hearing scheduled for Monday, but Ford's attorney sent a letter on Tuesday night addressed to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa asking first for an FBI investigation.
"We are looking to get this done as quickly as possible," Trump told reporters earlier in the day. "It’s a process. We all feel, speaking for all of the Republicans, we want to give everybody a chance to say what they have to say."
He added: “Judge Kavanaugh is anxious" to tell his side of the story.
As for a pre-hearing investigation, Trump said: "I don’t think the FBI should be involved because they don’t want to be involved."
