Senate Republican leaders announced Friday they have agreed to demands from two moderate Republicans to give the FBI a week to investigate sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, did not say when the Senate would hold a confirmation vote on Kavanaugh, but said he was optimistic a vote would happen. He also said the Senate would start the process by holding the first procedural vote on Kavanaugh Saturday at noon.
