The committee itself should be allowed to investigate this claim, specifically his own staff, who of course have publicly committed themselves to the fact that theyll do anything necessary to confirm brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. because the republicans are insisting that the fbi shouldnt look into this, because theyre insisting that only this republican-led committee can do the investigation here with their own staff members, according to senator grassley tonight, fords lawyers then req...

About it. judge kavanaugh was interviewed by committee staff on monday, democrats did not take part in that process. those conversations were under penalty of felony. democrats had seven weeks, the accuser, allegedly happened 37 years ago. the allegations this woman is making have more holes than swiss cheese. she doesnt member key details like where it happened, what dae it happened, how she got there, how she got home. i think its perfectly fair to question the veracity of the claims shes maki...

Trump floated the idea of a pardon to his form confidant. joining me former special prosecutor joe weinbanks and eli honey. the presidents personal attorney -- michael cohen has a history of lying. he does, so does the president, so does rudy giuliani. if what hes telling mueller corroborates what mueller already has, thats a tough triangle. >> it isnt. i think even if hes just corroborating, the documents that have been size r seieized office and his home, that would be important. a lot of time...

>> yeah. >> if that were a criminal case, the fact that its a senate hearing, none of that matters. this is about how you treat a witness. someone claims they have been assaulted and you do not throw them into any forum without having given them the courtesy of investigation to find corroborating or exculpatory evidence and its particularly preposterous in this case when you have an fbi background investigation, this is part of this guys background and they suddenly decided they are going to hal...

I provided medical records from 2017 stating on two different doctors visits, i told them about the abuse, who did it. my therapist released records saying that ive been dealing and healing from the abuse. thats 2017. its not 36 years ago. not a peep from the democrats who care so much about women, anthony. >> well, i think one of the problems with her story is that, you know, theres a lot of democrats that dont believe her story. i believe theres something about text messages and theyve not bee...

Had been floated as a short list for the supreme court. to me, thats a very alar alarming admission on her part that the only corroborating, the only people that she has corroborated the story with are people that heard it after she was concerned he would be a supreme court. >> harris: actually the therapist notes dont have the name her husband does. >> maria: from 2012. >> harris: from 2012 but publicly, yes. >> at that time the reasonable why she verbalized his name is because she heard he was...

Is he concerned about talking about it? because theres nothing to talk about from his perspective. so its a bit perplexing to hear that you dont remember and you dont want to talk about it. you just said you had nothing to talk about. so the only conclusion to draw is that theres some reason he doesnt want to speak on the record under oath and i think that is a big problem not just for him, but for judge kavanaugh because if his corroborating witness is essentially saying i dont remember and i w...

Only a sexual assault and he covered her mouth so she could not scream. and we need to hear from the corroborating witnesses who were there and who she told well before he was nominated to be a justice of the supreme court. >> senator gillibrand, thank you very much for being with us here today. >> thank you. >> and joining me now also from capitol hill, kasie hunt, our correspondent, and kristen welker, and also ashley parker, reporter from the washington post. and kristen, you were the last to...

To be heard, to have some measure of accountability? and sometimes its very hard and you have to do whats right even when its hard, especially when its hard. so i think that this is a moment when theres a reckoning for the u.s. senate, we need to have a proper hearing where this witness can tell her story. and that the corroborating witnesses can also be questioned. and so that they can tell their story and its really important that we have transparency and accountability. we should not relive t...
