>> thats a great question. judge kavanaugh was before the senate judiciary committee for confirmation hearings in 2004 and 2006, and i will have to go and look at what it is that senator durbin has posted and what he is implying here. it certainly suggests that some members of the committee who have been on the committee since those previous background checks have knowledge that, at least i am unaware of -- >> it didnt come up in the questioning. i did a quick scrub to see if anybody was lacing ...

Holy hypocrisy. that was the least of the onslaught for ford and her family. what is it like for someone who didnt want to come forward, who didnt want to be known, who just wanted to be helpful, to now be in thunder dome with the president of the united states? fords sister-in-law sandra mendler, joins us now. thank you for taking the opportunity. >> great. thanks for having me. >> well, look, i mean, you know what its about. last night i didnt even see that coming. i thought that he would play...

I dont know. we dont know. i wish we knew. >> we know it came from the democrats because theyre the only ones who had it. >> i know this much. being the victim of sexual assault and enduring that pain pales in comparison and is no comparison to being a victim of process or having some muddy process in congress. if you think they are the same, if you think that whats happened in the last few weeks -- >> i never said anything like that, anna, dont put words in my mouth. >> go look at what you said...

Designated, judiciary staff members with the required clearances will be authorized to brief members. there will be plenty of time for members to review and be briefed on the supplemental material before a friday cloture vote. so im filing cloture on judge kavanaughs nomination this evening so the process can move forward as i indicated earlier this week. so, mr. president, what is the pending business? >> the nomination of brett m. kavanaugh to be an associate justice of the supreme court. >> i...

Request. you heard the president say do what you need to do. the fbi, this is what we do. we are out of the way letting them do that. chris: to the white house counsel give the fbi a list? >> not that i am aware of. the white house counsel has allowed the senate to dictate with these terms look like has what the scope of the investigation is. the white house isnt intervening or micromanaging the process. it is a senate process, has been from the beginning, we are letting the senate dictate what ...

I think senator schumer is absolutely right to say that the relevant body now is the united states senate itself, and they should be fully briefed on the fbi report. >> there would have been a formal investigation if the ranking democrat on the judiciary committee, dianne feinstein, would have alerted the fbi in confidence about this problem, but she kept it quiet. >> well, as you know, there was a very short time period involved. she was operating under the confidentiality of the source. and i ...
