President Donald Trump said Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his family have been hurt “so badly” following a political saga that erupted after the New York Times published then corrected a story containing an old allegation against the judge.

“They’ve hurt that man and his family so badly. He has been just really devastated by the hurt that’s been caused to him, his beautiful daughters, his fantastic wife—they have hurt him so badly,“ Trump told reporters on Air Force One en route to California on Sept. 17. ”He has been hurt so badly and it’s so unfair. He’s a good man. That wasn’t supposed to be in the cards.”
