President Trump on Monday sought to turn the tables on Senate Democrats acting “holier-than-thou” over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's drinking and behavior in school, saying many of them “are not angels” themselves. “I watched the senators on the Democrat side and I thought it was a disgrace,” Trump said of last week’s hearing with Kavanaugh over allegations of sexual assault. But Trump did fire back at several specific Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee who aggressively questioned Kavanaugh over the allegations, which the nominee denies. Eventually, Trump moved on from his comments on trade, opening up the floodgates for questions on Kavanaugh. During Thursday’s hearing, Kavanaugh called the "Swetnick thing” a “joke” and a “farce.”Meanwhile, a senior Senate GOP source told Fox News they were told the Kavanaugh FBI probe could be completed by Tuesday.
