TRUMP DOUBTS ACCUSER, SAYS SHE WAS ‘INEBRIATED’

President Donald Trump says Democrats are playing a “con game” against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Trump is seeking to cast doubt on sexual misconduct allegations lodged against Kavanaugh by a Yale classmate, Deborah Ramirez, who made her claims in an article published in The New Yorker magazine.

Trump said Ramirez says it might not have been Kavanaugh and there were gaps in her memory. He said she says “she was totally inebriated and all messed up.”

Kavanaugh is set to testify Thursday at a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers, is also expected to testify.

Late Tuesday, the committee announced that it would vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination at 9:30 Friday morning. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he’s confident Kavanaugh will be confirmed.
