Dianne Feinstein calls for immediate postponement of Kavanaugh confirmation after second accuser emerges

Published September 24, 2018 2:09am ET



The Senate Judiciary Committee should immediately postpone Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process, ranking member Dianne Feinstein said Sunday evening.

Feinstein’s call followed a second woman, Deborah Ramirez, coming forward in a report Sunday to accuse the federal appeals court judge of sexual misconduct. Ramirez alleges Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during the 1983-84 academic school year while the pair were Yale University undergraduates, forcing her to touch his penis as she pushed him away, according to the New Yorker.
