You want this fbi investigation, but there is nothing that is going to satisfy you, basically, because its going to be hard to get the answers. some of these things from his perspective are unknowable. but when you talk about moving the goalposts, hes aiming that at the democrats, but, again, the democrats are irrelevant here. because most of them have already said theyre going to vote no. these fellow republicans of mitch mcconnell make all the difference. >> and to be clear, mitch mcconnell di...

What is the red line that could sink his nomination? one of the veterans of the senate judiciary committee will join us live. welcome to "the lead," im jake tapper. we begin with the politics lead today. president trumps rose garden press conference was intended to be a victory lap on the issue of trade, but instead it was pulled into the vortex of his controversial supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, the new fbi investigation, and questions about kavanaughs drinking in the past, with the ...

As for the unnamed senator, john, the president refused to say who he is speaking of. he said he preferred instead to talk about that in an upcoming book, which would certainly be modest and required reading in washington. >> john: he certainly did call out a couple of other senators. thanks, kevin, at the white house. as kevin corke just reported, president trump said he will allow the fbi to do whatever it takes to investigate judge kavanaugh. just a short while ago, we learned the fbi has int...

Mostly democrats was, we have to interview mark judge. he was in the room, that was supposed to really be the -- that was going to include everything, that was the most important thing and thats why back then -- back then, last week -- it was only going to take three days, it didnt need to be five days. everything happened. so, leader mcconnell is right, moving the goal posts because they are interviewing mark judge. so, that is, unless they have a lot of other evidence to prove whether he perju...
