Trump says it is Justice Kavanaugh who is 'being assaulted'

President Trump contended Monday that Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, who is facing a new allegation of sexual misconduct while a college student, was the one “being assaulted.”

Taking to Twitter, Trump reacted to a segment on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” about a significant clarification to an initial New York Times report that included a new allegation that Kavanaugh exposed himself to a female classmate at a drunken dorm party years ago at Yale University.

As initially published, the report, which was labeled a news analysis and adapted from a forthcoming book, did not mention that the woman involved in the alleged incident has told friends that she does not recall it.

In his tweet, Trump quoted a “Fox & Friends” headline, saying, “The New York Times walks back report on Kavanaugh assault claim.”

“The one who is actually being assaulted is Justice Kavanaugh - Assaulted by lies and Fake News!” Trump wrote in his own voice. “This is all about the LameStream Media working with their partner, the Dems.”
