WASHINGTON When President Donald Trump tapped Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, Sen. Ben Sasse lauded the nominee as a brilliant and humble man, a great pick for the highest court in the land.
A member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sasse praised Kavanaughs performance before that panel earlier this month.
But the Nebraska Republican has had little to say publicly about the allegations of sexual assault leveled against Kavanaugh. Thats intentional, he told Wednesdays weekly gathering of Nebraskans visiting Washington.
Ive made a point of not commenting very much in public on this because we still have a lot of allegations and details to sort through, Sasse said. I think Brett Kavanaugh was a strong nominee that the president made and now these new allegations came late in the process.
