united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. this is "cnn newsroom." there's potential new trouble for u.s. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. the woman accuses him of sexual assault more than 30 years ago, says she wants an fbi investigation before she testifies in public. she said a drunken kavanaugh held her down and tried to take off her clothes when they were in high school. kavanaugh denies the allegation. now, blasey's attorney says her client is getting death threats and has gone into hiding. >> it's premature to talk about a hearing on monday. and i think people understand that because she has been dealing with the threats, the harassment, and the safety of her family. and that's what she's been focused on for the last two days

and will continue to be focused on that. and so, asking her to come forward in four or five days and sit before the judiciary committee on national tv, is not a fair process. and if they care about doing the right thing here and treating this seriously, as they have said, they will do the right thing and they will properly investigate this and she will work with them in that investigation and also to share her story with the commit by. however that happens. >> the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, chuck grassley, says nothing the fbi does would have any bearing on what blasey ford tells the committee. and he says there's no reason for any further delay. that will likely be welcome news to the white house. kaitlan collins reports. >> reporter: he's an incredible individual. great intellect.

great judge. >> reporter: the president standing by his supreme court pick. >> he is great in every way. >> reporter: brett kavanaugh's confirmation is now an open question, after a scheduled public hearing with the woman who says he sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers. >> i feel so badly for him. this is not a man who deserves this. >> reporter: kavanaugh denies the allegation and the president is blaming democrats, saying they waited too long to release the woman's claim. >> they obstruct and they resist. that's the name of their campaign against me. i don't want to play into their hands. >> reporter: senator dianne feinstein said she was made aware of the accusations e s ear this summer. trump said the fbi should get involved.

>> reporter: the president making no mention of christine blasey ford's name today. but urging her to tell her story. >> hopefully the woman will come forward, and state her case. >> reporter: trump sounding sure of kavanaugh's innocence. >> he will state his case before represents of the united states senate. and then, they will vote. >> reporter: the president says he hasn't spoken with kavanaugh, who spent a second day in a row at the white house, with sources say he is flabbergasted and shaken as they mount a dfefense. >> judge kavanaugh is anxious to do it. >> reporter: ordinary moments from kavanaugh's confirmation hearing are back in the spotlight. >> since you became a legal adult, have you ever made requests for sexual favors or

committed verbal assault. >> no. >> have you ever gone into a settlement of this conduct? >> no. >> reporter: today, we saw the first glimpse that the president has doubts about the voracity. if president trump believes he thought it was all politics, he said he wasn't ready to answer that question yet. but he might in the coming days. kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house. and joining me now england. president trump is standing by brett kavanaugh. but christine blasey ford says she won't testify monday unless there's an fbi investigation and it doesn't look like that is going to happen.

where does that leave kavanaugh's confirmation hearing if it continues without delay, leaving people wondering about the sexual assault allegations? >> well, it looks like, if you look at some of the signals from the republicans in the senate judiciary committee, they're going to go ahead with the vote, that if she does not testify, they don't seem to be interested in going ahead with her requests, to have an fbi investigation. and they've offered her a chance to have a hearing. if she does not agree to testify, they're going to go ahead with the confirmation. >> doesn't that leave a cloud hanging over brett kavanaugh from here and forever? this is a life long post he will be taking up. >> it leaves a huge cloud over this nomination. you have to remember, this is a nominee that's one of the least-liked nominees in recent

history for supreme court. you have slightly more of the public not thinking he should be confirmed. he was nominated by president trump, whose administration is in the middle of a huge investigation. but the republicans are very, very determined to get this nominee through before the november midterm elections. >> clearly, that is the deadline, isn't it? instead of rushing to get this process concluded as quickly as possible, does it make more sense, for the president to direct these allegations, as was done in the anita hill case during the confirmation of clarence thomas in 1991. someone is not telling the truth here. and the people of america, the voters of america, want to know

who is telling the truth. >> right. well trump and the judiciary committee wasn't treating the process fairly because they said, we're going to allow a hearing with two individuals at the hearing. that would make it he said/she said. in order to prove what happened, you have to have an investigation. this is part of the fbi's background investigation to corroborate what took place. that's what ford is hoping for. otherwise, it becomes a media circus. and some could say, i believe her. and some say i leavbelieve him. but president trump is not going to order the investigation. he said this is unnecessary. >> this is after him saying she should have her say. donald trump tweeted this a few hours ago. the supreme court is one of the

main reasons i got elected president. i hope republican voters and others are watching and studying the democrats' playbook. mr. trump said the democrats resist and obstruct. they resist and obstruct. if the president pushes to make this an election issue, which he seems to be doing, could it work for him? or could it backfire when it comes to female voters over this very issue? >> there's so many issues that people are voting on. it is one issue but actually upholding roe v. wade is something that most of the -- not all, but most of the u.s. population is in favor of. and will probably backfire in terms of female voters. i don't think it will do much to affect his base. >> natasha lindstaedt, thank you

for joining us. south korea's president says the era of no war has started on the korean peninsula. during his summit with kim jong-un in pyongyang, he said both leaders worked to denuclearation. plans to link the railways and cooperate on health care. and for kim to visit seoul in the near future. president trump later weighed in, tweeting kim jong-un has agreed to allow nuclear inspections, subject to final investigations and to determi permanently dismantle a test site and launchpad. there will be no rocket or nuclear testing. heroes being returned home to the united states. also north and south korea will

file a joint bid to host the 2032 olympics. very exciting. our paula hancocks joins us from seoul with more on this. paula, a very ambitious list of agreements and goals there, coming out of that second day of the interkorean summit. and top of that list was scrapping the north korean nuclear facility with experts watching on. what does north korea want in return from the united states? >> rosemary, what north korea has agreed to within this agreement, that kim jong-un has signed next to moon jay-in, they will scrap the missile test site that the u.s. president had talk about after the singapore summit. when it comes to the nuclear research fashicility, that has

been agreed to yet. this is official according to the declaration they've signed, saying if the u.s. gives core responding measures, then north korea would be willing to shut this down, as well. it really plays into what north korea says it wants. it wants a step-by-step process of denuclearization, something that washington said they would not accept. you say, we had tweets from the u.s. president donald trump. he has welcomed the developments. he said they are very exciting. from the nuclear test site point of view, that's not being agreed to at this point. it's a conditional session that north korea says if the u.s. gives us something, we'll give back to that return. >> president trump excited about this.

and this is an incredible list of achievements, coming out of the seconds day of the summit. what will come out of the third day? and what is expected in the long run about this? this is what america wanted. it wanted to see the move towards denuclearization. >> as you say, it's a wide-ranging list of issues. from the korean point of view, the military agreement seemed to be wide-ranging. the fact they are trying to make sure there will not be military skirmishes along the border, the maritime border. they're making sure they're demilitari demilitarizing. this is where north and south korean soldiers have been facing off against each other for decades. when it comes to day three, we heard that they will be visiting peck tszyu mountain.

this is considered the spiritual homeland for koreans, a very sacred mountain. the fact that the two of them will be visiting this mountain will be seen as significant. we heard from a pen report with moon jay in playing over. it expands the korean and chinese border. from their point of new, view, will be a significant move. >> so much coming out of the second day. the mind bagels to see what comes out of the third day. paula hancocks joining us from seoul, south korea, at 3:15 in the afternoon. china is firing back at the latest u.s. plan for tariffs. president trump announced monday he would imposed a 10% tariff on chinese imparts next week.

on tuesday, beijing announced it will tax $60 billion worth of u.s. goods. mr. trump has promised a third phase of tariffs if china retaliates. >> we just started. we didn't do anything with china because we wanted china have to have benefit of north korea. they're helpful. it got to a point where the numbers were too big. this should have been done for the last 20 years. >> and for more on this escalating battle, matt rivers joins us live from beijing. china has hit back. we know the giants will hit back again. what is the end game? >> reporter: rosemary, if anyone was his teesitant to call what

going on between the united states and china as a trade war, i think we are well on our way. it is the biggest trade conflict between the united states and china in their trade history. what's going on right now, china says it will put $60 billion on additional tariffs on u.s. imparts, starting the same day that the u.s. will put their tariffs on chinese imparts. $60 billion from the chinese side. 5% or 6% will be the tariff rate. 5,207 of products will be targeted. nuts to alcoholic beverages, to furniture, to machinery. it is a wide-ranging list. by china putting $60 billion in tari tariffs, you're talking about tariffs on all american imports to china. if you thought that china was going to back down, due to the latest threats from washington, the opposite is the case as of

this point. the big question that is still unanswered from the chinese side, rosemary, were negotiation nas the u.s. offered to the chinese side last week, those negotiations would appear to be in doubt. but the chinese side has not canceled them. >> matt rivers, keeping a close eye on that. many thanks to you. we'll take a short break right here. still to come, full disclosure. the porn star who says she had an affair with donald trump, has a tell-all book. and the details are salacious and disturbing. and it's also a story about people. people who rely on us every day to deliver their dreams they're handing us more than mail they're handing us their business and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget... that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you ♪

what's in your wallet? we're getting our first look at another book that president trump probably won't be reading. it's the full details about donald trump and stormy daniels. if you have children around, you might want to get them out of the room for this next report. here's our sarah sidner. >> reporter: in her tell-all book, stormy daniels says her first sighting of donald trump in his hotel suite in tahoe was

surprising. trump came swooping in. he changed and they joked about his hair. what's going on with this? i know, it's ridiculous. the two talked about family. what would your wife think of you being here with me? don't worry about that, he said. it's not a big deal. and anyway, we have separate bedrooms. she writes that trump brought out a picture of melania holding their son. and when daniels came out of the bathroom, she claims trump was lying on the bed in his underwear. they had sex. she describes his genitalia in great detail. his penis is distinctive in a certain way, she writes, proof her attorney says she is tired of being called a lawyer by trump's people. the night of her sexual encounter with trump, she was

invited to a club. she finds trump and ben roethlisberger talking. she suggested that wra roethlisberger walk her to her hotel room. he asked her a question. i was terrified. i'm rarely terrified. he stood outside not leaving. every now and again, he would knock. come on, he repeated in a sing-song voice. i won't tell. he eventually left. cnn reached out to roethlisberger for comment. we have not heard back. but in january, after a few of the details came out in "in touch" magazine, roth liethlisb said he had no tension of addressing the story. trump has not admitted to any

tryst. but the spoebks pern said it happened again and again. in his room tashgsz t, as the t watching tv, hillary clinton called. clinton was vying for the nomination against barack obama. when he hung up, he was effusive about hillary. i love her. she is so smart. fast-forward to almost a decade in the trump and clinton campaigns and you'd never know it. >> lying, crooked hillary. she is a liar. >> reporter: daniels reveals, she was raped as a child. she writes, it happened repeatedly by a man who lived next door to one of her friends. i was 9. i was a child. and then, i wasn't, she writes. he was raping vanessa, so, i put myself between them. continually offering myself up so he would leave her alone. >> that's just one of the disturbing details she recounts in her young life. one of the themes that is

throughout the book is stormy daniels hates being called a liar. and that explains why she went into such detail about president trump. her book comes out on october 2nd. sara sidner, cnn, los angeles. speaking out about sexual assault can be a harrowing experience. just ahead, we will speak with someone who knows what the woman accusing brett kavanaugh is going through right now. plus, a high school friend of the supreme court nominee comes to his defense. wait until you hear some of his controversial comments. so we just bought the home of our dreams.

welcome back, everyone. this is cnn newsroom. i'm rosemary church. time to check the main stories we're following this hour. south korea's president says the era of no war has started on the care korean peninsula. moon jae-in say they have agreed on a path towards denuclearization. they also have a joint military pact, plans to link railways and cooperate on health care and for kim jong-un to visit seoul in the near future. u.s. president trump tweeted about the developments, calling it very exciting. china is firing the latest round in the trade war with the united states. beijing says it will tax $60 billion of u.s. imparts beginning monday. that is the same day that president trump plans to impose a 10% tariff on chinese goods. he has promised another round of tariffs if china retaliates.

the woman accusing brett kavanaugh of sexual assault more than 30 years ago, says she wants an fbi investigation before she testifies in public. the senate judiciary committee has asked christine blasey ford to appear on monday. kavanaugh's accuser says she has received a stunning amount of support from her community. but she's also been the target of vicious harassment since she's told her story. her attorney spoke with cnn on tuesday. >> she just came forward with these allegations 48 hours ago. since that time, she's been responding to hate mail, harassment and death threats. she's trying to put together how to protect yoeherself and her family. >> critics are asking why blasey

ford so long to come forward. >> you need to realize that you are greatly compounding the damage done to these abuse victims by the way you are responding. this, what it took to get here, what we had to go through for our voices to be heard because of the responses of the adults in authority, has greatly compounded the damage we suffer. and it matters. >> american lawyer and former gymnast, rachel denhollander joins us. thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. when you think back to blowing the whistle on larry nassar and

how much strength you feel you needed to speak up. >> it took years to get to the point of being healed enough. i knew larry would be an international story, given who he was. in addition to that, just the idea of having to verbalize, something so shameful and private and is terrifying for an abuse victim. it's a horrifying process to go through. >> reporter: what's life been like since the abuse and how did it change your life? >> it was every bit as difficult and horrific as i expected it to be. the same things that are being said about miss ford were said about me, were said about everybody that came forward. she's in it for the attention. larry was running for office when i spoke out.

why did she wait so long. that's the attacks that all victims get when they speak up. it's the norm, not the exception, for it to take years and decades for victims to come forward with their abuse stories. i have received many, many personal messages from people who are in their 60s and 70s. who are telling me for the first time of their abuse. and they still hadn't spoken of it to anyone. >> so many people do have their own secrets that they carry throughout their lives, regarding this sort of thing. we know christine blasey ford's lawyer says she will not appear at the hearing unless the fbi investigates the allegations. so far, it looks like that isn't going to happen. she has been driven from her home, is received death threats and is receiving vulgar e-mails. this is why people hesitate when it comes to reporting sexual

misconduct. can you relate to most of that? and what do you think ford is going through right now? >> i can. and i think any survivor can relate to that. we get the nasty comments. that's one of the reasons that survivors stay silent. really, i think the lesson we need to take away here is how we respond when it's in our own community. what do we do when the allegation is in our own community? do we listen? do we pursue the truth? are we willing to consider? or do we have a knee-jerk reaction? people say, why didn't she speak up earlier? and the response they are giving her is the point that she didn't speak up earlier. we aren't going to be able to see victims that come forward earlier. they know the response they're going to get. >> of course, looking at the

public hearing that is set for monday, we don't know at this point, of course, if ms. ford is going to turn up. but if she did and if she went ahead and did this, we were going to hear from brett kavanaugh and from christine blasey forward. it would have been he said/she said. people would have to figure out which one they believed. do you find it extraordinary in 2018 -- we saw what went on in 1991 with anita hill. why has very little changed when it comes to that? even back then, they had witnesses. people would come on either side and give their side of the story. you're a lawyer, of course. as a lawyer, do you look at that and think, what is going on? why are they not delving deeper into this? >> you know, that is a role that the fbi could play. i would like to see them take that up. but the reality is, in sexual

assault cases, there isn't a lot of evidence most of the time. they're private and that's the nature of sexual assault. that being said, prior disclosures is something that would weigh heavily. that's one of the main pieces of evidence that i brought forward, is my prior disclosures, including to medical personnel. and christine ford has that. that's something that probative and makes her claim worth listening to. worth hearing. >> i think for a lot of people, they have to ask the question, what does she gain from going public? and from what she said, she said it was her civic duty since this was a lifetime position that brett kavanaugh was taking. we will continue to follow this story. rachael denhollander, thank you for sharing your story with us. >> thank you.

the other person who was po supposedly in the room when brett kavanaugh allegedly assaulted christine blasey ford is speak out. in a letter sent to the judiciary committee, mark judge and his attorney write, brett kavanaugh and i were friends in high school. but i do not recall the party described in dr. ford's letter. more to the point, i never saw brett act in the manner dr. ford describes. the judge's past is now coming under intense scrutiny. here's cnn's randi kaye. >> reporter: his name is mark judge. he was brett kavanaugh's high school friend and classmate. in this yearbook photo, that's judge in the white shirt. kavanaugh in the baseball cap. that photo, before judge made a name for himself, as a conservative writer and journalist, contributing to publications like "the daily caller" and "american

spectator." in "wasted, tails of a gen-x drunk. he said it was impossible for him to stop until he was annihilated. he said his high school was swimming in alcohol. judge referenced a bart o'kavanaugh, who barfed in someone's car and passed out. mark judge seemed to embrace controversy. in 2006, he asked on politic politicalmavins.com, whether guy people are perverts. and he wrote in "the caller," the odds were high that a black person had stolen his bike. in a 2013 piece for "the daily caller," he denounced former president barack obama. writing, he doesn't just have a streak of the feminine in him, he seems to be a woman, and a

feminist one at that, with the streak of a man in him. since being named in this firestorm, mark judge has deleted much of his presence in social media, including his twitter account. but enough of his writing is out there to get a sense of how he views women. judge compared michelle obama to laura bush. writing, michelle is more man than her husband. oh, for the days when george w. bush gave his wife, laura, a loving but firm pat on the backside in public. the man knew who was boss. in 2013, he wrote about something he called damseling. making a woman in distress who needs rescuing. his yearbook page included this quote. certain women should be struck regularly like gongs.

more recently, judge wrote this in the online magazine incult rated. there's never any excuse for rape, a crime that's almost akin to murder because the rapist kills part of the human soul. yet, what women wear and their body language, sends signal les of their sexuality. a friend described mark judge to cnn as a, quote, joker and a loud mouth. now, suddenly, all these years later, a lawyer for mark judge says, his client has nothing to say publicly. randi kaye, cnn, orlando. coming up, it has been called the year of the woman in u.s. politics. why more women than ever are running for office in the upcoming midterm elections. we'll take a look at that when we'll take a look at that when we come back. la it could cost you your life. it's time to get out of line with upmc.

278 women are running for office in the u.s. midterm elections this november, a record number. 16 are running for governor. 23 are looking to gain or hold on to a seat in the senate. and 239 are running for the house of representatives. now, you can see there are far more democrats running than republicans. as ken low reports, these women come from all walks of life, many fuelled by their frustration of president trump. >> they are underdogs, first-time candidates. we have been going coast-to-coast trying to capture some of these key candidates. >> citizens just like me became activated. >> reporter: dr. kim schreyer,

marched in 2017. by 2018, she quit her job. now, she's a democrat running for congress. will women be the differencemaker in 2018? >> i'm counting on it. to have a misogynist in chief as the president, a man who grabs women's bodies and has been disrespectful to women, that drives us. >> reporter: every politician in every town's parade knows they have to press the flesh, ask for votes. but democrat lucy mcbath brings a personal story unlike any other. >> jordan guides me every day. every, single day. >> reporter: her 17-year-old son was gunned down at a florida gas station six years ago. the gunman saying he shot jordan davis because he felt threatened by him and his friends. mcbath, first, a grieving mother.

and then, quit her job to become a national gun control activist for every town for gun safety. then, this year, parkland. >> shots fired right now, guys. >> here we go again. >> good afternoon. >> and then, i saw president trump sitting with our federal legislators, sitting at the table, talking about the nra. and within 24 to 48 hours, he flipped. >> reporter: that's when you decided to run? congresswoman christy nolan's daily ritual, running to be the first woman governor of south dakota. >> i started thinking out of the box. how do i get to have interaction with other members. and for me, it was the gym. >> reporter: she made the leap to state lawmaker, then, went to clock. despite her success, this is what she heard as she announced

her run for goff vernor. >> i had a few people tell me i didn't have the right body parts to be governor. it's a small number of folks that we have to change their perspecti perspective. noem is as uncommon here as she is in washington. republican women make up 7% of congress. the unprecedented surge of women running for office this year has been almost completely among democrats. why this year are record number of women saying that they can run in government? >> i think it's all about not missing an opportunity. timing is everything in politics. >> reporter: noem's time has is now. >> you have control over your own destiny. >> reporter: a path she hopes to forge at home. afghanistan 2009. in her third tour of duty, pilot m.j. hagar was shot, hanging on the outside of a rescue

helicopter, standing on the skids, all while returning fire to the taliban. >> got peppered with different pieces of schrab nell. >> you use the tattoo to cover the scars. >> yes. it's hard to awalk away without having a purpose. >> reporter: finding a purpose in her run for congress. >> in this district, trump won by a lot. >> the republican leadership has gone off the rails. and the things the republican party stands for now are not representative of the values of the people in this district to vote republican. >> reporter: he's a democrat, voting against a long-time republican incumbent in a district trump won by 13 points. she is cracking open doors once thought shut for democrats. 256 women have won house and senate primaries. 16 have won gubernatorial

primaries. these are huge records. analysts believe all of these women are well-poised to smash some records this november. kyung lah, cnn. the storm has passed but not the danger. more rivers are flooding in north and south carolina. and thousands are still in harm's way. we're back with in a in a moment. ...you could learn you're from ireland... ...donegal, ireland... ...and your ancestor was a fisherman. with blue eyes. just like you. begin your journey at ancestry.com. this is a story about mail and packages. and it's also a story about people. people who rely on us every day to deliver their dreams
