At least five democrats running for president Say Supreme Court Justice Brett kavanaugh should be impeached over the latest Sexual Misconduct allegations from his college years. A new book on kavanaugh by two New York Times journalists mentions a previously unreported claim. President trump and other republicans reject the allegations. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Nancy, why are those democrats calling for kavanaughs impeachment . Reporter well, because, anthony, democrats both here on the hill and on the campaign trail say that these new allegations are raising questions once again about the integrity of his confirmation process.

In it a classmate at yale says that he saw kavanaugh expose himself to a female student at a party in the 1980s. However, the female student refused to be interviewed for the book, and apparently friends say she doesnt recall the incident.

Yesterday Democratic Candidates called for kavanaughs impeachment. Center Elizabeth Warren said the nomination was, quote, rammed through the senate. And former Vice President joe biden asked whether the fbi was pressured to ignore evidence. President trump over the weekend called the new accusations lies and, tony, its portant to point out that the senate is still run by republicans.
