Trump responded to an investigation that revealed Brett Kavanaugh lied about sexually assaulting women by demanding that the DOJ sue people for his Supreme Court nominee.
Trump tweeted:
Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for liable, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue. The lies being told about him are unbelievable. False Accusations without recrimination. When does it stop? They are trying to influence his opinions. Can’t let that happen!

Now the Radical Left Democrats and their Partner, the LameStream Media, are after Brett Kavanaugh again, talking loudly of their favorite word, impeachment. He is an innocent man who has been treated HORRIBLY. Such lies about him. They want to scare him into turning Liberal!

The DOJ can’t pursue civil action and sue people for libel. Trump is abusing his power by trying to make the Department of Justice sue to save his Supreme Court justice.
It is not the fault of liberals that Brett Kavanaugh lied about sexually assaulting women and his drinking problem. Trump is urging that the Executive Branch of the United States government file civil court cases on behalf of a Supreme Court justice to keep further investigations and information from coming out.
The Trump administration is nothing more than a consistent abuse of power in an effort cover-up wrongdoing.
Brett Kavanaugh should not be on the Supreme Court, and Trump’s outburst reveals how far he is willing to go to keep an unfit justice on the bench of the highest court in the land.
