Brett Kavanaugh, the judge who President Donald Trump nominated for the Supreme Court vacancy left by the retirement of Anthony Kennedy, has written an op-ed defending himself while admitting he got too emotional during a public hearing after he was accused of gang rape and sexual assault without any evidence supporting the claims.

Kavanaugh penned a piece in the Wall Street Journal declaring that his 28-year record shows he’s an independent, impartial judge and noting that while he was emotional during the public hearing, he was there “as a son, husband, and dad.”
