Democrats on Senate Judiciary Committee seek delay of vote on Trump’s top court nominee

All 10 Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday called on the panel’s Republican chairman to postpone Thursday’s planned vote on US President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The decision came a day after a woman accusing him of sexual misconduct went public with her allegations, Reuters reported. The panel should decide on the appropriate next steps in a bipartisan way only after the Federal Bureau of Investigation has completed its review of the woman’s accusations, the Democrats wrote in a letter to committee chairman Senator Chuck Grassley.
