Sfroo i want to get to the other blockbuster story. theres a development the judiciary committee is extending a deadline for brett kavanaughs accuser whether she will testify. so just a couple hours from now for that decision. moments ago at a conservative gathering, vice president pence made no mention of these negotiations nor dr. ford, rather vowing that the judge will be the next supreme court justice. >> honestly, the way some democrat versus conducted themselves during this process is a di...
