Democrats walk out of Kavanaugh hearing after US Senate committee sets vote

(28 Sep 2018) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY POOL - AP CLIENTS ONLY Washington - 28 September 2018 1. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R) Iowa: "So I want to make that motion time certain to vote, but if there is a motion from a minority, I would recognize that motion first." 2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Richard Blumenthal, (D) Connecticut: "Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion to subpoena Mark Judge as a witness before our committee." 3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Richard Blumenthal, (D) Connecticut: "Every one of us, I think, were riveted and powerfully impressed by her (Christine Blasey Ford) truth. We heard her provide details in that story that can be corroborated and other facts that can be uncovered, if we hear from other witnesses who have very relevant and important knowledge about what happened to her on that evening in that room. The third person allegedly in the room was Mark Judge. Evidently he has never been interviewed by the FBI. He has never been questioned by any member of our committee. He has never submitted a detailed account of what he knows. And so I move, Mr. Chairman, that we have him before the committee as a witness." 4. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R) Iowa: "Before we vote, I will read the letter that we received from Mark Judge." 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R) Iowa, reading letter: "'I do not recall the events described by Dr. Ford in her testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee today. I never saw Brett act in a manner Dr. Ford describes. I am knowingly submitting this letter under penalty of a felony." 6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Richard Blumenthal, (D) Connecticut: "That letter is no substitute for an FBI interview... (vote being conducted in background) and it is no substitute for testimony before this committee." 7. Vote on Democratic efforts to subpoena high school friend of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R) Iowa: "The motion is defeated. Now I move, as I said I was going to do, that we set the vote to report out Judge Kavanaugh's nomination at 130p.m. today." ++SHOTS SEPARATED BY BLACK FRAMES++ 8. Vote on the nomination for 1:30 p.m. Friday UPSOUND (English) Sen. Patrick Leahy, (D) Vermont: "No, because it violates the customs of this committee. It violates it." UPSOUND (English) Sen. Mazie Hirono, (D) Hawaii: "I strongly object. This is just totally ridiculous, what a railroad job. My answer is no, no, no!" Democratic Senators Cory Booker and Kamala Harris remain silent during vote UPSOUND (English) Sen. Amy Klobuchar, (D) Minnesota: "They're not answering because this is so unfair, Mr. Chairman." UPSOUND (English) Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R) Iowa, after vote tally announced: "Okay. Motion carried." 9. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R) Iowa: "At the end of the day, the three witnesses Dr. Ford named denied any knowledge of the event she described. Judge Kavanagh forcefully denied the allegations. The alleged behavior is inconsistent with everything else we know about him." 10.
