The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance the nomination of Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh in an 11-to-10 vote along party lines, but Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) joined Democrats to demand a brief FBI investigation before the full Senate holds its vote. The Senate Judiciary Committee held an eight-hour hearing Thursday about the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her. Before Flake made his demand public, Senate leadership expected to hold procedural votes on Saturday and Monday and a final full Senate vote on Tuesday.
