Hirono: Time for Trump to withdraw Kavanaugh nomination
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) said Wednesday that President Trump should withdraw Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court following the release of a third allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.
“A third woman has come forward with a credible account of sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh,” Hirono tweeted. “Time for @realDonaldTrump to withdraw this nomination.”
A third woman has come forward with a credible account of sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh. The FBI must investigate this and all other reports. Time for @realDonaldTrump to withdraw this nomination.

{mosads}On Wednesday Wednesday, attorney Michael Avenatti brought forward allegations from Julie Swetnick that Kavanaugh was part of a scheme to try to intoxicate girls at parties in the 1980s so they could be “gang raped.”
Swetnick alleges that she was a victim of one such incident at which she says Kavanaugh was present.
Hirono has vocally opposed Kavanaugh throughout the confirmation process. She told reporters two weeks ago that she would be “delighted” if Kavanaugh withdrew his nomination.
She has also dismissed the idea Kavanaugh has a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
