President Trump charged Friday that opponents of his Supreme Court pick aren’t interested in facts, and just want to take down Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
“Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay,” Trump tweeted. “Facts don’t matter. I go through this with them every single day in D.C.”

Kavanaugh has said he’s willing to testify in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, but his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, is still negotiating her appearance. Her lawyers have said they want assurances that she would be safe, and also want Kavanaugh to testify first.
While some have argued Ford should go first, Ford might get her wish. Her lawyers have said she cannot testify Monday, and Kavanaugh has already said he’d be available that day to talk to senators.
