Play Video 0:46 Trump says Kavanaugh has an impeccable reputation – videoTrump said he believes Kavanaugh is “under assault by radical leftwing politicians”. A Senate panel vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation, scheduled for Thursday, was delayed after Ford’s allegations came out last week. Ford is willing to give her account to the Republican-majority judiciary committee, whose senators need to vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation before it goes to a full Senate vote. “I think it’s a very sad situation,” said Trump, asking: “Why didn’t somebody call the FBI 36 years ago? He remains committed to providing a fair forum for both Dr Ford and Judge Kavanaugh.”
