Committee ranking democrat dianne feinstein asked the white house and the fbi to hand over whatever directive the white house had given the fbi outlining the scope of the investigation. by this morning, she and eight of her democratic colleagues on the committee had signed on to a letter demanding a full investigation and specifically asking that the fbi look into the claims of julie swetnick, as well. and at a press conference in the rose garden this morning, the president seemed to agree. >> i...

Report about one of the accusers swetnick, basically torn apart. >> yes. >> dana: does that help judge kavanaugh? >> it helps him that one of the accusers is now being disbelieved. the issue, is the fbi going to pursue this? did she file false documents with congress, which is a crime? did she lie when the fbi was interrogating her, which is a crime. even if they are crimes, are they crimes worth pursuing? if an accuser accuses him of something and the story is obliterated, of course it helps hi...

Forth. i think the voters right now are getting angry on both sides with the hypocrisy of many of the senators. >> harris: its interesting because what youre saying is build that intensity for your side. >> this is the problem, republicans were complacent before this kavanaugh thing. now its excited the republican base now. make it about the supreme court because i can tell you this, people didnt want to vote for donald trump came out and voted because of the supreme court. the democrats may hav...

As the nations leader in energy storage, were ensuring americans have the energy they need, whenever they need it. this is our era. this is americas energy era. nextera energy. a key undecided republican senator we have been talking about is calling for the fbi to also look into allegations brought by brett kavanaughs third accuser, this woman, julie swetnick. susan collins told it to the portland press herald. swetnick does not have any credibility. thats what you heard from senator kennedy t...

To a great extent on all sides. i was reminded of "to kill a mockingbird." i think the history of people being falsely accused at how wrong that is in this country -- not making a judgment about this case -- that is a deep history, there is a reason all kids read "to kill a mockingbird." rich lowry spoke about it in an editorial and he said the story in contemporary terms goes off the rails. atticus finch didnt believe all women. he didnt take an accusation at face value. he defended an alleged ...

To kristen fisher on capitol hill. kristen? >> reporter: hey, dana. two stories were tracking that broke over the last 24 hours or so. first is an nbc news report claiming judge kavanaugh and his team have been texting with two of his old yale classmates trying to get them to refute the second accusers claims before they became public. thats a big deal if true because at the hearing last week, judge kavanaugh told the committee he had only learned of the accusations after they became public. her...

Mischaracterized his drinking while testifying. if they find that he did, do you think that bars him from being your supreme court nominee? >> well, ive -- i watched him. i was surprised at how vocal he was about the fact that he likes beer and hes had a little bit of difficulty. i mean, he talked about things that happened when he drank. i mean, this is not a man that said that alcohol was absent and he was perfect with respect to alcohol. >> please note there, the president did not quote kavan...

Whats your impression of it? >> my impression is that the interview didnt help miss swetnick corroborate her claims. she, if anything, changed a few details. and number two, and this is important because it goes back to the original declaration submitted by michael avenatti, she is not alleging that brett kavanaugh attacked her or committed a crime against her. and so that makes her -- although she has been lumped in by some as one of the so-called accusers, that makes her fundamentally differen...

Since last week. since this investigation started, we havent seen any new accusers come forward. in political times, four days or even three days now is a lifetime. people in the white house just dont know whats going to happen, and that causes a significant level of agitation and concern. at the same time, theres also a school of thought that its very possible this fbi investigation will not turn up any new material corroborating the assertions and allegations of dr. ford. and if thats the case...

Breaking news for you, another scoop from nbc news. the headline, quote, text messages suggest kavanaugh wanted to refute accusers claim before it became public. this is from nbcs heidi przybyla and leeann caldwell. in the days leading up to a allegation that supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh exposed himself to a college classmate, the judge and his team were communicating behind the scenes with friends to refute the claim. according to text messages obtained by nbc news. kerry berchem who w...
