Kavanaugh Com News Today

If the committee changed course and was willing to talk to you about the circumstances and was willing to invite testimony from your client along those same lines, along those same logistical lines, would your -- would your client testify? >> you know, id let her make that decision, but i wouldnt advise her to. its a very unfair process. i was a former prosecutor, and, you know, a case that is 35 years old, the only way youre going get out what actually happened besides talking to the two people...

Representing one client who i can describe as a witness and victim as well as additional corroborating witnesses to what she is going to allege publicly within the next 48 hours. >> so, that was attorney michael avenatti last night on this show. here, look, its like its last nights show, see? now, get back, get back. okay. that was him last night on the show setting out his expectations for when his client who he has not named, but he says has some allegation to make about supreme court nominee ...

Maricopa countys bureau office in phoenix. she is posted as the leading candidate to question both kavanaugh and ford at thursdays highly anticipated hearing in the senate judiciary committee. we dont know much more about rachel mitchell, but she is according to "the post" a registered republican and she has worked for the maricopa county attorneys office for a very long time, for 26 years. joining us now is one of "the washington post" reporters who just broke this story, rosalind helderman. ms...

Yet more breaking news since i said something to the contrary moment ago in the last segment. its been a little thorn in the side of judiciary committee chairman chuck grassley that when he brings in brett kavanaughs original accuser, dr. christine blasey ford, who says that brett kavanaugh sexually assaulted her and tried to rape her when he was a 17-year-old, it has been sort of sticking in the craw of senate judiciary committee chairman chuck grassley that the republican majority that dr. for...

Decided to hire a woman lawyer to handle the questioning for them. thats sort of strange in itself, but one of the extra strange things about this story is up until right this second, up until moments ago, who theyve actually picked to do that questioning for them has been a secret. they have not said who that female lawyer is. they announced today that they had hired someone but said that they wouldnt announce who she was for her safety. well, now "the washington post" has reported that an ariz...

Identified in the new yorker piece, and some of those witnesses didnt cooperate but still could be interviewed by the fbi. im sure that would be the investigation the investigation turns. there is not a lot of question that this actually happened. you have a situation where there are a number of people who were interviewed who said yes, they heard about it. they heard about it that night. and then a couple of days afterwards a couple of people who were fellow yale students were talk about it say...

Be a huge red flag and very problematic. >> so much attention on maine republican senator susan collins right now in terms of her potential vote on supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh, but today nbc news was able to get that comment from her on a different matter. susan collins saying it would be a huge red flag and very problematic if there is any attempt to fire or force out deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. that being echoed across the aisle from the top democrat on the intelligence c...

That and just go forward, i would have to talk to the senate judiciary committee. the fact that they refused to actually get on the phone with me and talk to me about what other options have in mind and instead sit back and demand i give them all the information we have which feels like an effort to just gather the information and sweep it under the rug, then its hard to say that i would suggest that she do anything further. but they need to be able to have a meaningful conversation with debbie ...

A phone call with them, they end up pushing the phone call back. and then since i sent out that tweet about two hours ago, we had a phone call scheduled, and we called in for the phone call, and only the minority party showed for the phone call. >> so you received communication from the chairman or the chairmans staff, from the majority committee staff, but only democrats were on the call? >> thats correct. >> what do you make of that? that seems odd. >> you know, its disturbing. they keep on ki...

Perjury in order to have this matter investigated properly. the white house and the republicans in the senate seem adamantly dug in against that process. they do not want the fbi to reopen its background investigation of judge kavanaugh. if they will not budge on that issue specifically, how -- how else would you want to proceed? if the fbi investigation isnt going happen, what do you think should happen next here in terms of having your client treated fairly and having this allegation considere...
