Brett Kavanaugh confirmation: Democrats call to delay vote on Trump's Supreme Court pick as he denies sexual assault allegation

The confirmation of Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court has been thrown into doubt, with a woman having accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University, is willing to testify about the claims she has levelled at Mr Kavanaugh, her lawyer Debra Katz has said.“She is willing to do whatever is necessary,” she told CBS. Ms Ford, who made the allegations several months ago but only agreed that her name be made public at the weekend in an interview with the Washington Post, said Mr Kavanaugh tried to force himself on her at a high school party three decades ago.
