Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) became the first Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee to suggest it delay moving forward with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation amid allegations the judge sexually assaulted a woman as a teenager.
The Senate Judiciary Committee may be unable to move ahead with a Thursday vote that would send Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the full Senate after the judge’s previously unnamed accuser came forward Sunday.
Flake, a member of the committee, said Sunday that he would not be “comfortable” moving forward now that Christine Blasey Ford has revealed herself as the woman behind a letter detailing the allegations.
