Trump talks about Kavanaugh in the middle of a confirmation process.







President Donald Trump on Tuesday spoke about his beleaguered Supreme Court justice, Brett Kavanaugh, and said his confirmation depends on what comes out of the FBI investigation.

"I think Judge Kavanaugh is doing quite well, it seems to me that in the last 24 hours," he said. "A lot will depend on what comes back from the FBI in terms of your additional number seven investigation."



Kavanaugh's confirmation process took a turn after California professor Christine Blasey Ford accused him of sexually assaulting her decades ago when they were in high school. The Senate Judiciary Committee weighed the testimony of Kavanaugh and Ford during a marathon, and on occasion, an explosive hearing last Thursday.



Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the accusation and all the others that have arisen.



In the last 24 hours, in response to pressure from Democratic and moderate Republican senators, the White House has eased the limitations of the FBI background check at Kavanaugh that Trump launched Friday. The White House, at the behest of the Senate Judiciary Committee, an effort led in part by Senators Jeff Flake and Chris Coons, ordered the FBI to investigate what the committee considered "credible" allegations of sexual misconduct.



Trump continued his strong defense of his election to the Supreme Court on Tuesday, saying he will be "totally impartial" as a Supreme Court judge.



"I think he's a great judge, he's known as a great judge."



On Monday, Trump called for a "thorough" but "fast" FBI investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct while the agency works to meet an impending deadline.





After Ford showed up, another accusation surfaced from Deborah Ramirez, who knew Kavanaugh at Yale University, and accused him of sexual misconduct in a separate incident during his freshman year.



The White House specifically requested FBI interviews with Ramírez, among three others. The FBI has been authorized to interview anyone, with a focus on two complaints of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh raised separately by Ford and Ramirez, sources close to the process say.

Flake, a fundamental player in the confirmation of judge. Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, both for its vote and for its demonstration of bipartisanship when it requested a one-week delay in a full vote in the Senate to allow an FBI investigation, underscored its reservations about the president of partisanship Donald TrumpThe candidate exhibited in the middle of the acrimony on his frustrated confirmation.



"I was very concerned about the tone of the comments: the initial defense that Judge Kavanaugh gave was something like what I told my wife that I hope will sound outraged if I feel I was mistreated, but then continued." Flake said on Tuesday during the Atlantic Festival in Washington, DC "And the interaction with the members was clear and partisan and that worries me".



"We can not have this on the court," he added. "We just can not".



Flake's apprehension of Kavanaugh's nomination comes after a rare moment in American politics: Flake and Coons, who shared the stage at Tuesday's event, presented a united bipartisan front during the vote of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the nomination and caused a delay in the bitter fight Kavanaugh



In an anteroom, just outside the Senate Judiciary Committee's podium, a group between Flake, an Arizona Republican, and Coons, a Delaware Democrat, led to an energetic commitment: Flake would support Kavanaugh's confirmation and remove her from the committee, but condition that an FBI investigation would be reopened for a week to deepen the accusations.



It was a moment that showed the country that in the midst of deeply divided times, the senators on both sides are "willing to take a week to listen to each other," Coons said.



"It may not change the result at all, but it's a really significant statement," he continued.



"What Flake did was exceptional and laudable is to say, 'we have to get closer in terms of our understanding of the facts,'" Coons said. "If the nomination were forced forward, without further investigation, it would have a lasting impact on the credibility of the court."



Coons, who indicates that the current state of things is too partisan, considers this moment as one that shows that "there is hunger in the country so that this is not exceptional but ordinary."



Flake expressed concern about the "vitriol" in Friday's courtroom, calling it a "fight for food" between the two parties.



"That's when I sat there and approached Chris," he said. "Chris gave a very sober and rational speech about how we could move forward and I thought that's what we have to do."



"The Supreme Court is the last bastion, the last institution, in which the majority of Americans have faith," he added. "If that faith is gone, then heaven help us."



What is at stake with this nomination is the legitimacy of the court, according to Coons.



"Why this moment is so powerful and so tense is that we have asked the Supreme Court to be the arbitrator, the turning point of some of our most personal, passionate and powerful problems," he said.



But the "legitimacy of the Court is intensely fragile," he said. "His strength lies in his credibility as independent arbiters of the constitution, he is seriously at risk."



Coons seemed to argue that the hostility of both sides is to blame for delegitimizing the institutions of the nation, and reiterated Flake's feelings about partisanship.



"The ways in which the character and credibility of Judge Kavanaugh have been questioned and put to the test, and the ways he spoke to us as a committee that I thought were too partisan, all this is a smoky jambalaya that goes into the credibility of the Court, "he said.



"The Court can not be as divided as Congress," he urged. "It is inevitable that there will be deep bitterness, anger and frustration at the outcome of this nomination, no matter how it ends."

Coons also stressed that he is "gravely concerned" about how the rest of the world sees the United States on the world stage.



"We are an exceptional experiment," he began before warning, "We are an exceptional nation and run the risk of losing everything through a populist mentality of the mafia where nobody can win because everyone must lose."



"It's up to you, folks, I just have an eternal gratitude with my friend Jeff for making us take a week and look at each other, listen to each other and respect each other."



When the next term of Congress begins, Coons faces a Senate without several key Republicans who are often willing to work with the other side, including Flake.



"I am enormously frustrated by the little progress we are making to address the big problems we have in front of us that affect average Americans," he said. "I face a Senate without Senator Flake, without Jeff, without Senator McCain and without Bob Corker."



"These are three people with whom I have worked very hard to establish good relations," he continued. "If the Senate does not work, our constitution, our republic, our nation does not work."



But he added: "I can not leave this post."



Facing his imminent departure from the Senate, Flake looks to the future, suggesting that he will try to continue protecting the role of the Senate as a "bulwark" while dodging any speculation about a possible presidential candidacy for 2020.



"I'm not leaving the Senate because I'm tired of this institution," he said. "We have to find a way to get together, I just could not execute the kind of campaign I wanted to run in this environment and be successful."



"Whatever role I can play outside this body, I will do it because it is vital, it is important that the Senate as an institution needs to return to its former glory," he said.
