President Trump has finally broken his silence on the allegations facing judge Kavanaugh. Previously, Trump has been very calculated in his responses to the allegations, but on Friday he opened up.
According to Fox News:
President Trump called on Christine Blasey Ford on Friday to provide a police report to back up her allegations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh tried to sexually assault her more than three decades ago.
In a change of tone after days of reserved statements regarding the allegations, the president first tweeted in defense of Kavanaugh and then put pressure on Ford to furnish a police report, though there’s no indication one was ever filed.
“I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!” he tweeted.
He tweeted earlier: “Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay. Facts don’t matter. I go through this with them every single day in D.C.”

Trump’s comments come as the deadline set by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley approaches. Grassley has given Ford until 10 a.m. to respond on the invitation to speak to the committee.
