New Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has officially declined the more than $600,000 raised by supporters for his legal fees after he was hit with multiple sexual-assault allegations during the confirmation process, citing judicial ethics restraints.
Kavanaugh appeared set to be confirmed to the court before Christine Ford, a Californian woman, came forward to claim he assaulted her in the 1980s; two other women later came forward to allege other assaults.
