Trump backs his Supreme Court pick after Senate showdown
WASHINGTON - A hearing for US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh devolved into a partisan fistfight on Thursday as Democrats and Republicans and Kavanaugh himself sparred over explosive allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted an acquaintance while both were teenagers.
