Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her during a party in their high school years, is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee today. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said his own history of being accused of sexual misconduct by more than a dozen women over the decades “absolutely” changes how he views the allegations against Kavanaugh. “I’ve had a lot of false charges made against me,” Trump said. “I’m a very famous person, unfortunately.” [WaPost]
Topping the news: Utah Sen. Mike Lee has kept quiet about the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.
