Transcription for President Trump apologizes to Kavanaugh during the inauguration ceremony of the Supreme Court
a ceremonial oath for the new supreme court judge Brett Kavanaugh. President Trump declared that the battle for his nomination was part of a democratic deception. And the president now predicts that he will now help the Republicans in the midterm elections. Here is the ABC White House correspondent, Jonathan Karl, tonight. Reporter: While celebrating the confirmation victory of Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump lashes out against the Democrats who oppose him. It was a shameful situation, provoked by people who are evil. And he hardened it. We all face it together. Reporter: Kavanaugh was confirmed by the narrowest margin for a judge of the supreme court in more than 130 years. The protests continue in the Senate chamber even when the Vice President Pence presided over the final vote. The weapons sergeant will restore order in the gallery. Reporter: As Kavanaugh was Sporn that night by the president of the court, John Roberts, two of the firm liberals of the court were there to give testimony. Judges Elaina Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg joined Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas for the ceremony. There are deep divisions. Republican Sen. Susan Collins, whose vote was decisive, told "60 minutes" that she now has a security detail because of the threats she received. And although he believes that Christine Blasey Ford is a victim of sexual assault, he says he is not convinced that Kavanaugh was not his attacker. She was clearly terrified, traumatized, and I thought that a sexual assault had happened to her. Which I think she's wrong about who the perpetrator was. I do not think his attacker was Brett Kavanaugh. Reporter: North Dakota Democrat Heidi Heitkamp, representing a state where President Trump is popular, is willing to pay a political price for not voting, but she says it was a matter of conscience. Do I have a job that I want to continue doing? Absolutely. Do I want to compromise my principles and my conscience for that work? No. And I want to compromise the supreme court for that job? No. Reporter: President Trump predicts that the confirmation battle will help the Republicans in the midterm elections and insists that if the Democrats win, they will try to remove Kavanaugh and expel him from the court. Now they are thinking of dismissing a brilliant jurist, a man who did nothing wrong, a man who was caught in a hoax, which was created by the Democrats. So let's go to Jon Karl, live in the white house tonight, and Jon, President Trump, joined the air force one today for Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein. It is likely that everyone at home remembers that Rosenstein's fate had been uncertain after "The New York Times" reported for the first time that he allegedly wanted to secretly inform the president, discussing the possibility of removing him from Amendment 25. What are you? learning about today's conversation? Reporter: We were told that the two men spoke for 45 minutes aboard Air Force One. It is unclear how much those reports or Russia discussed
