U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh testifies before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee

Supreme Court Justice Nominee Brett Kavanaugh testifies before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee about allegations that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford at a house party in Maryland while the two were teenagers. Kavanaugh categorically denies the allegations and asserts that any investigation will clear him and that there is an organized effort to discredit him and scuttle his nomination. He acknowledges that he attended parties while in high school but says that he never met Blasey Ford and that he never had sex until he was married. Kavanaugh also talks about his support of women and says that he has already hired a team of women law clerks in anticipation of being confirmed to the Supreme Court. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) chairs the hearing.
