Trump says his past accusers influence thinking on Kavanaugh
WASHINGTON — This is personal for President Donald Trump.
For 10 days, Trump has watched as allegations of sexual misconduct have swirled around Brett Kavanaugh, his nominee for the Supreme Court.
On Wednesday, Trump spoke aloud what he’s been mulling in private, acknowledging publicly for the first time that past allegations of sexual misconduct levelled against him colour his views on similar charges against other men, including Kavanaugh.
“It does impact my opinion and you know why?” Trump said. “Because I’ve had a lot of false charges against me.”
