Jim Bourg / Reuters President Donald Trump and his Supreme Court pick Judge Brett Kavanaugh at his nomination announcement at the White House, July 9. White House spokesman Raj Shah, who has been shepherding the nominee’s movement through the confirmation process, said Kavanaugh welcomed the opportunity to answer the accusation. “You’ve got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women,” he said, according to journalist Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear,” about the Trump White House. Kavanaugh’s new travails reopen the question of why he was added to Trump’s list of potential nominees in the first place. After choosing Neil Gorsuch from the pre-election list, Trump added five names to it, including Kavanaugh’s.
