发帖数: 61690 | 1 Sen. Bob Corker, a Tennesee Republican who at times has been at odds with
President Trump, told Hill.TV on Tuesday evening that he is confident Senate
Republicans will have enough votes to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett
Kavanaugh by "no later than Saturday."
Corker also accused Democrats of having "overplayed their hand" in leveling
accusations of sexual misconduct and assault by several women and demanding
an FBI investigation.
The Senate had previously been scheduled to vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination
but the Republican majority on Friday agreed to a demand from some members
to delay the vote by one week to give the FBI more time to investigate the
accusations.
“Cloture may be filed tomorrow … it feels to me like the FBI reports could
come in as early as tomorrow, maybe Thursday … my guess is we’re going to
vote no later than Saturday,” Corker said in an interview. He said he made
that assessment after some "very heartfelt conversations" with his GOP
colleagues.
Asked if Kavanaugh will win confirmation, Corker replied “I do.” |
