Senator McConnell Condemns Democrats' Handling of Kavanaugh Allegations

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has criticized Democrats of leaking allegations about sexual misconduct by Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the press and mishandling the issue. Senator McConnell accused Senator Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, of waiting until the 11th hour to bring up the allegations in order to derail the nomination. California professor Christine Blasey Ford has alleged that in the early 1980s Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her during a party at a suburban Maryland home. Judge Kavanaugh has denied the allegations. close
