The focus will undoubtedly be on the Kavanaugh confirmation circus playing out between the House Judiciary Committee, Kavanaugh accusers, GOP holdouts spearheaded by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), and the FBI – which is slated to conclude its brief investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct levied against the Supreme Court nominee.
White House reporters are sure to ask press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders about Trump mocking Kavanaugh accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, at a Mississippi rally Tuesday night – drawing wide criticism from both sides of the aisle.
Also in focus is sure to be a Tuesday story from the New York Times accusing the Trump family of engaging in “questionable” and “dubious” tax strategies, “including instances of outright fraud” that greatly increased the fortune Trump inherited from his father, Fred Trump.
The White House responded Tuesday night, with Sarah Sanders noting: “Fred Trump has been gone for nearly twenty years and it’s sad to witness this misleading attack against the Trump family by the failing New York Times,” adding “Many decades ago the IRS reviewed and signed off on these transactions.”
