President Donald Trump urged senators to hear from both Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who accused him of sexual assault before the Senate Judiciary Committee votes whether to recommend the nominee for confirmation to a seat on the Supreme Court.
The president made the comments on the afternoon of Sept. 17, after both Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, agreed to speak with lawmakers. Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he was working to set up calls with both parties.
