Brett Kavanaugh must be ‘rescued’ from impeachment, Donald Trump says

US President Donald Trump rejected Democrats' calls for impeaching Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh on Sunday after a new report involving sexual misconduct allegations, encouraging Kavanaugh to sue for libel and suggesting the justice department could “rescue” him.

“Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for libel, or the justice department should come to his rescue,” Trump wrote on Twitter. It was unclear what action the Republican president was advocating the justice department take.The Times article said at least seven people, including Ramirez' mother, had heard about the incident long before Kavanaugh became a judge. Kavanaugh denied Ramirez's accusations during his acrimonious Senate confirmation hearing in late 2018.

Kavanaugh, a conservative appointed by Trump, was confirmed by the US Senate in October 2018 after he denied accusations of sexual assault by three women. The Senate confirmed his appointment to the high court by 50-48 vote, one of the tightest margins to date for a justice. “I sat through those hearings. Brett Kavanaugh lied to the US Senate and most importantly to the US people,” wrote Senator Kamala Harris, a judiciary committee member. “He must be impeached.
