Democratic senators refuse to meet with Brett Kavanaugh after Cohen pleads guilty

Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, called off a meeting with Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, and painted the president as an “unindicted co-conspirator” after his longtime personal attorney said he violated campaign finance laws at Trump’s direction.

“I have cancelled my meeting with Judge Kavanaugh. @realDonaldTrump, who is an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal matter, does not deserve the courtesy of a meeting with his nominee—purposely selected to protect, as we say in Hawaii, his own okole,” Hirono tweeted Wednesday.
