Kavanaugh allegations lead to White House scramble

Sexual assault allegations levied against President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee have spurred intensive conversations at the White House over how to proceed, officials and advisers said on Monday.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh was seen arriving to the West Wing just past 10 a.m. ET on Monday, swiftly ducking into the building after stepping from a black SUV. His arrival coincided with a new statement, released by the White House, in which the federal judge again denied the allegations of sexual assault.

Kavanaugh's once-assured confirmation has now been thrown into question, angering Trump and prompting his aides to evaluate their options moving forward.

Already, White House officials signaled they would not seek to smear Kavanaugh's accuser, California professor Christine Blasey Ford. Instead, a top official insisted she be treated fairly.

I doubt if that includes Trump, and they can't control him.
