statement from president trump saying i've ordered the fbi to conduct a supplemental investigation to update judge kavanaugh's file as the senate requested. this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week. good luck. >> right! "the evening edit" starts right now. >> as i understand it from the statement, is there will be a supplemental background check consistent with what the statement said, not to take longer than a week. we're going to move to proceed to the nomination tomorrow either by recorded vote or voice vote. hopefully in the next few days, the fbi will answer questions that linger in the minds of some, and we will have our up-or-down vote next week. liz: the judiciary committee agreed to instruct the fbi to take a week to do the supplemental background investigation, and judge kavanaugh and the white house saying he supports that. this is a condition asked for by republican senator jeff

flake backed by republicans lisa murkowski and roger wicker before the full senate vote. the debate is this, what will the fbi probe turn up, turn up anything new in a week's time and does it take away a democrat talking point? judge kavanaugh approved on a party line 11-10 vote. the president is going to leave everything up to the senate. thank you for joining us, thank you for watching. money, politics, we've got the debate behind tomorrow's headlines. thank you for watching. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. the major averages ending down this week. mix forward the month, but the s&p posting its best quarter in five years! more on your money in just a second. first to this. more high drama and fireworks

on capitol hill. the senate gop agreeing to a one week delay that the president supports on the full floor. kavanaugh confirmation vote to get the fbi probe dr. christine blasey ford's allegations. this after republican senators lisa murkowski and roger wicker joined republican senator jeff flake in calling for the delay. senator murkowski is a wild card vote along with susan collins of maine. the senate is at 51 republicans and need all the votes that i can get on this. october 1st, it will be the second time in three terms that the supreme court begins this term a justice short. the first time happened in 2016, and president obama failed to seat his choice, merrick garland to succeed antonin scalia. the prosecutor representing the republicans yesterday rachel mitchell saying she would not prosecute judge kavanaugh based on what she heard from dr. fort. dr. ford testified he is 100%

sure it was judge kavanaugh who allegedly assaulted her. critics are pointing out weaknesses in the story. the judge heatley denying all of the allegation. this as senator john kennedy calling the hearings an intergalactic freak show. let's get on edward lawrence. reporter: the process descended into chaos. the full judiciary committee is asking for that fbi background check to be reopened. now they do say they would like it to be just current allegations. current credible allegations is the term now. president donald trump through sarah sanders, the press secretary said he just ordered that. we just saw a tweet from sarah sanders saying exactly that. again senator jeff flake started this wave of asking are in additional fbi background check. he voted to move the nominee to the full senate but would not

vote to confirm without that fbi report. >> and i think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than one week, in order to let the fbi to do an investigation limited in time and scope, to the current allegations that are there. reporter: and within the last five minutes, judge brett kavanaugh released a statement to the white house that says in part, i've done everything they have requested and i will continue to cooperate. the white house was blindsided by this, but again, the president ordered the fbi to go forward. he wants to do what's best for the country. >> i'm going to rely on all of the people, including senator grassley, doing a very good job. that will be a decision they're going to make and they suspect they'll be making some decision soon, whether to take a vote or to do whatever else they want to do. i will be totally reliant what

senator grassley and the group decides to do. reporter: now the fbi is going to go forward with that additional background check. democrats welcomed the delay. senator chris coons was able to talk jeff flake into this in the moments literally before the committee vote hearing. >> i think he showed courage and determination today in making it public that he will not support moving ahead with a final vote on judge kavanaugh on the floor unless there is a brief fbi investigation that is limited in scope and time to the current allegations. reporter: and senator lindsey graham says there will be a procedural vote to continually move this nomination forward tomorrow. that vote going forward after the fbi reports come, in republicans say they are confident that votes could go forward. liz: thank you so much, edward. for more what exactly that all means, get to the former

assistant director of the fbi in new york, he's bill gavin. thank you so much for coming on. what is your take on this one-week fbi background check? >> liz, it's my pleasure to be here. this one-week fbi check all depends what they really want. when i hear the republicans indicating that they think it's an update of the background with the allegations made for an interview of both dr. ford and judge kavanaugh, that's one thing. fbi can swing into that in a heart beat. i'm sure that right now leads have been set out all over the country. the right agents to do the interview are in the right places. but if you are going to get into the ramirez and swetnick allegations, that probably is not going to be done in less than a week. it's going to be most difficult because the speed of this investigation depends upon the

volume. if you get into swetnick's, she's talking about ten parties she attended. that's not going to be able to get done. the other thing, liz, we have to think about, if, in fact, they interview judge and he comes up with something that he didn't remember before and we have to interview someone else. liz: you are talking mark judge, sorry, you're talking about mark judge, that would be judge kavanaugh's friend, and mark judge is denying the characterizations of judge kavanaugh. go ahead, sorry to interrupt. >> that's quite all right. if there anywhere other interviews to conduct, you know darn right well that this committee is not going to rely on the report given by the fbi. it's going to request a subpoena. that's going to draw it out. and we had senator rosenthal say he's not interested in any sham fbi investigation, he's set the road map for where he's coming on this particular thing, too. i think it's going to be very

limited in scope, if they're going to do it in a week and can be done in a week if that scope is limited. liz: that's the point. we don't know the framework for it. you make an excellent point, it's inconceivable, the fbi should be tasked into looking into three-decade plus claims by multiple women, right? in just a week's time. >> in a week's time, not going to be done in that amount of time. if it's simply limited to what judge kavanaugh and dr. ford, it can be done, it will be done. liz: quickly, which fbi office would oversee it? where would it come out of? d.c. or new york? which office? >> it would come out of headquarters, quite sure, and wherever these people might reside, that field office would open a case as well and have the agent in place ready to go. liz: bill gavin, great to see you, thanks for coming in. >> thanks, liz. liz: let's get to what senator flake said and led him to explain for calling for the

delay for the full senate vote and ask for the fbi probe, watch. >> that's what i'm trying to do. this country is being ripped apart here and we've got to make sure we do due diligence. i think this committee has done a good job, but i do think we can have a short pause and make sure that the fbi can investigate. liz: joining me now is the "weekly standard"'s fred barnes. great to see you, your reaction for the delay and the probe? >> well, i was certainly impressed by what mr. gavin said, it made all the sense in the world to me. meeting a deadline of one week is going to be very, very hard. what if the fbi finds a small matter they want to extend their investigation into. is chuck grassley going to say no? our committee has to vote? liz: what's your worry about this, fred? what's your concern about this? >> that this won't be the last time where there's a delay.

we've seen them before, and certainly there are people working for the democrats, scouring the country, to find anybody and any reason for another delay. i think you have to worry about every delay if you're kavanaugh or a republican. liz: yeah, the president ordered the fbi reopen the background investigation it. should be pointed out that judge kavanaugh has been vetted and looked at multiple times. he's answered questions under oath. he's spent hours talking to people behind the scenes in congress. and let's get to dr. ford, she is a sympathetic credible witness coming off as frank, honest and sincere. 51-year-old mother of two speaking out because of civic duty. and people watching it, she didn't oversell herself, she admitted to gaps in memory. here's the thing, fred, facts did not add up. the female friend that she said was with her said she wasn't there. four five people dr. ford said

were there citing them by name, cannot recall the party. and dr. ford, fred, still cannot recall the home where the assault allegedly took place, how she got there, got home. no witnesses to say she told them about the alleged assault at the time, until she spoke about it at therapy session years later. >> my reaction is she was a very sympathetic witness, but she didn't bring with her someone who could corroborate her story of being nearly raped, but at least assaulted. nor did she bring in any evidence that would change where the case was before she testified. so that still exists. and, look, the ball -- i don't mean to laugh, but the ball is in democratic courts now because they're going to -- look, their strategy has been to delay all along, now they

have another week to find more reasons to delay. liz: looks like their strategy -- and to get a 4-4 deadlocked court until 2021 where they could conceivably take over the senate. fred, your take on what you expect would happen? >> i expect there will be an investigation that will be at least a week, and afterwards, democrats will be demanding another week. liz: all right, fred barnz, good to see you, sir, have a great weekend. >> thank you. liz: what you are watching is politics in extremis in d.c. an emotional whirlwind. should the process be with necessary evidentiary proof, about this bedrock thing called truth? is bipartisan civility considered an antique, a museum relic? are partisan allegiances determined not by shared values but enmities? one place to see the fallout what we were talking about is how the democrats still do not

use the word allegations or claims or charges. watch. >> i doll whatever is in my power to make sure your claims get a full and proper investigation. >> thank you for coming forward and being willing to share your story with us. >> dr. ford, we are grateful that you came through it and that you shared your account with us and the american people. liz: one person did use the word claim. for the most part when we were watching and covering the hearings, the democrats took what dr. ford said as fact, at face value. casey and washington times contributor eric schiffer. eric, your reaction how the democrats did not use allege or allegations? >> these are careful practitioners of words and positioning for the purposes of influence, and i think that while many of them probably

believe the allegations made by ms. ford, the ones that may be on the fence that are questioning it are not going to frame it that way because they want a position as if this happened, you know, and because it serves to undermine the nominee, and that's the whole point what they want. liz: excuse me, sorry, thing on. does it serve the american people at large not to frame it as allegations? >> well, i think you said it in the beginning, this is about partisanship. so the public in the end really doesn't get the truth in these situations. they're not going to. and that's the hard part, and i think with the fbi, you're not going to know what's really going on at the end of the day, you just won't. liz: let's bring kelsey in on this. michael lee of utah called in the hypocrisy of the democrats. >> at least one of them had

access to the information, many, many weeks before the rest did. they could have and would have been investigated by the fbi. calling for an investigation, we're in the middle of a conversation that involves questions to you. so i ask my democratic colleagues, if you have questions for judge kavanaugh, ask him. if someone really were interested in the truth, this is what they would do. they would participate in the investigation and when we have a committee investigation, a committee hearing with live witnesses they would talk about that. liz: so what senator lee kelsey was saying is essentially the democrats now are demanding an fbi investigation when she is saying sat on the information since july. so they sit on the information first, then it's revealed and after the fact want an fbi investigation, your take. >> senator mike lee is exactly right. democrats not only could have gone to the fbi six weeks ago confidentially with this information. they should have gone to the fbi.

i think republicans would have welcomed that and done all that was in their power to help, but, of course, they held these allegations until the last-minute. somebody among the democrats leaked them to the media and now we got the circus that we saw just yesterday and it's going to continue for a week, if not more, because we know democrats aren't really interested in getting to bottom of what happened here. they're interested in slow walking and blocking this nomination which is heart breaking for judge kavanaugh. liz: we're going to cut to the floor of the senate. we've got senator jeff flake about to speak on the floor of the senate judiciary panel about what is going on in his latest request to get an fbi probe lasting just one week. let's get to the senate floor. watch. forgive me, we're going to get to that in just a second. get to the business headlines first before we get on senator flake.

(john) we were both working on that first network that would eventually become verizon's. back then, the idea of a nationwide wireless network was completely unreasonable. but think about how important that first call was to our lives. it opened the door to the billions of mobile calls that we've all made in the last 34 years. sometimes being first means being unreasonable. i'm proud i was part of that first call, and i'm proud that i'm here now as we build america's first and only 5g ultra wideband network with unprecedented wireless capacity that will not only allow for phones to be connected, but almost everything--

conservative union chairman matt schlapp. your take on the media here? >> they can't hide anymore, liz. what we're seeing on twitter feeds and all over the screens in our homes and offices are the media which is part of #resistance. not all of them but many of them. when they watched those two people testify yesterday, there's no question that they're on the side of dr. ford and that's not the role of a journalist. liz: let's stick to the facts we're watching and trying to get to the bottom of things here in the "the evening edit." in the questioning of dr. ford, in your assessment, did democrats show interest in getting to the facts? critics are saying the democrats never asked for fbi probe into the charges for nearly two months when it could have been handled confidentially by the fbi over that time now they want an fbi probe. did it look like the democrats were asking facts from dr. ford? >> no, liz, you got this exactly right.

dianne feinstein held onto this for six weeks. the democrats or dianne feinstein leaked this to the press. they never told, they got her lawyers or arranged her lawyers for her. those lawyers never explained to dr. ford she could have been interviewed confidentially, she could have been interviewed in california. she never had to get on a plane or car or boat. they could have made this as convenient as possible, taken away the theatrics, the problem with that, then there wouldn't be the theatrics. the democrats want to do everything they can to knock brett kavanaugh off the trajectory. liz: the question is did the process fail, fail dr. ford and judge kavanaugh. we're going to get to the latest on the nyse with connell. reporter: the dow wrapping up what turned out to be a rough week with small gains at the end of the day today. s&p 500 was flat but had a

. liz: the president saying yes to an fbi supplemental background investigation as supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh of the senate could forge ahead and start the nomination process this weekend and debate it for a few days until the fbi completes its work in just a week's time. this is all feasible? let's bring in business columnist and fox news contributor, liz peek. your take on all of this? >> the best case is that they investigate the charges that are already public, they ask people like mark judge to confirm the things he's written in his sworn statement, and that basically they don't start spreading into other allegations which i'm sure the democrats are going to hope to raise during this week delay. the problem with the sdl you really don't know what else is

going to happen. i hope that the fbi agrees to do this. it sounds like the white house is going to go along with it, that they have very strict parameters what they're going to do, who they're going to talk, to they report back in a week that, yes we have confirmed the letters. let's face it, there is absolutely no evidence. liz: what could they get done in a week's time? >> talk to the people who wrote the letters but did not appear before the committee. liz: which letters? >> all the witnesses who blasey ford said were at that party and to a person have denied any knowledge of it or having been there. so those are letters, by the way, which republicans kind of failed to mention over and over again are sworn testimony. they basically are under penalty of perjury and if they are lying, those could be felonies. these were serious things that these witnesses attested to, but, look, they're going to feel better because the fbi goes and talks to them. that is fine. liz: this looks like it takes a

talking point away from democrats. >> if it goes the way it might. liz: how it could delay it further? you think it could? >> i think what could happen is the fbi comes back and says there are other people that these individuals referenced in our conversations, we'd like to also talk to them, that could take a few more days. you know how this can go. it's like the mueller investigation, like a tentacle that spreads out and it can incorporate a lot more people. liz: is there a chance we have a gridlocked supreme court for some time at 4-4 and go into 2021, the democrats think they're going to take back the senate? >> it will turn on the elections if republicans are really fired up about this and they vote. it is still the case that republicans have the advantage in the senate, right, going into the midterm elections. the house is much more up in play, but the senate still is expected to stay in republican hands, and if that's the case, they will get another justice on the supreme court, and by

the way, it could be someone much more conservative. so i think they may rue the day they undertook it. liz: i think republicans are defending -- >> exactly. several states carried by trump. liz: liz peek, thank you. >> thank you. liz: thousands of pang -- pages of documents could be released in the china case. and senator lindsey graham and others saying the judicial confirmation process is broken. we're bringing in former law clerk for judge kavanaugh, justin walker, give us his take next. stay there. i'm a broker. do you offer $4.95 online equity trades? great question. see, for a full service brokerage like ours, that's tough to do. schwab does it. next question. do you offer a satisfaction guarantee? a what now? a satisfaction guarantee. like schwab does. man: (scoffing)

>> and instead of submitting to an interview in california, we're having a hearing here today in five-minute increments, is that right? . liz: that exchange encapsulates how dr. ford's information came out. information rocking washington. it's now being accused of being an utter failure. prosecutor rachel mitchell acknowledging the problems with the five minute questioning and more of the kavanaugh hearing. critics saying it would have been better to tell her story all at once without a room full of strangers watching. why wasn't that option recommended by her lawyers? lawyers that should be noted recommended to dr. ford by democrat senator dianne feinstein's staff. let's take it up with former law clerk for judge kavanaugh, justin walker. thank you so much for coming on. good to see you. did the process fail dr. ford?

>> i think the process failed dr. ford and judge kavanaugh. i think that it failed dr. ford in that she wrote letter she wrote to senator feinstein in july, senator feinstein if she found it credible, should have acted on it, kept it confidential. senator feinstein had the opportunity to talk to judge kavanaugh in her office and had the opportunity to question judge kavanaugh at a closed hearing that she chose to attend, it was late at night. dr. ford had been better served had senator feinstein acted differently and judge kavanaugh served by a process that was more fair and didn't reflect democrats' desire for a delay. liz: let's back up, dr. ford testified that she did not authorize the release of her letter to senator feinstein. at the same time, dr. ford also

testified that she did contact the "washington post" starting back in july. how do you two things square to you? >> what's especially hard to square is the way senator feinstein handled the situation because, you know, someone leaked this to the press on the eve of the confirmation vote. and if this was something that was a credible accusation and reasonable people certainly can see dr. ford's testimony and believe she believes what she's saying. if it was deemed credible, she would have been investigated in july, not [indiscernible] which uses dr. ford for the democrats' political purposes of delaying the process just for the sake of delaying the process because as senator graham said yesterday, there is an election coming up and trying to get past the election, win the election and destroy judge kavanaugh's nomination. liz: senator feinstein should be noted saying she and her staff did not leak it.

we have sheldon whitehouse saying the letter was well known on capitol hill, it could have been leaked by anybody. what's your take on the nominating process going forward? >> well, i think that today's vote was a good vote, and i understand that senators are having an important role, advise and consent role. they have heard from dr. ford and heard from judge kavanaugh, and you know, i certainly hope that judge kavanaugh is confirmed next week. liz: did you ever see judge kavanaugh get blind drunk and get angry while drunk? >> liz, absolutely not. you know, judge kavanaugh is on a very short list of people whose word i trust without reservation and without hesitation. liz: have you ever -- sorry, finish your thought, go ahead. >> because he denies this, but i believe he didn't do this.

liz: have you ever heard these allegations before? >> absolutely not. liz: what was your reaction when you heard the allegations? >> i was shocked at the allegations. i will say there are many men, nice men, successful men, whose denying in this situation i would not necessarily believe. i do not subscribe to the myth that people who are nice to a lot of people never do an evil thing like this. what i believe, however, is that judge kavanaugh is the kind of person who would rather lose a job than tell a lie. his word is a word i trust, absolutely because i worked with him every day and i came to know him, the trustworthy person he is. liz: how long? >> every day for a year, i took his class, and i've known him for 10 years. liz: justin walker, thank you for coming on. the misk function on was created signing a strategic

either to trump and obstruction of justice and trump and russia. i have to imagine that it's going to be helpful in that respect, or there wouldn't be such an interest. there likely are facts that i think the public will see and raise a lot of questions. again, a credibility question and questions that could exonerate the president and exonerate other elements that tied him, that again can be helpful. liz: let's move to this story, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein agreeing to speak with house republicans in a closed-door meeting to discuss that "new york times" story that said rod rosenstein potentially sought to record president trump and also spoke about getting cabinet members to join rod rosenstein in an effort to remove the president via the 25th amendment. kelsey, is rod rosenstein's job safe? >> i don't think we know that just yet. i think it does say a lot that

president trump has not fired him yet because we know president trump is not afraid to act on impulse, but i think rod rosenstein has explaining to do and a good move by republicans to see if the allegations by the "new york times" are serious because the 25th amendment should be protected and not abused just because somebody inside the administration doesn't like their boss. liz: eric, your take on this. >> well, there were rumors he was going to resign with the president because he had said these things and didn't want to testify to congress, and somehow heard himself lie under oath. the fact he suggested the rumors may not be true or he's going to say that he said it. so it's pretty interesting. i think it's going to be fascinating. we're going to find out very soon. liz: eric and kelsey, thank you so much for coming in. have a good weekend. >> tieu. liz: tesla ceo elon musk sued

. liz: welcome back. tesla ceo elon musk hiring a high-powered attorney after musk was sued by the sec, alleging musk misled invests who are he tweeted he secured funding to take tesla private. he hasn't. tesla lost $15 billion in market value about, a quarter of market cap since that facebook tweet that elon musk sent out in august. let's bring in ltm wealth

portfolio manager and jonass max ferris. does musk stay or go? >> he's fighting it. he's going to stay in some capacity. it might not be officially an officer or directoror executive of his own company. i don't know what to say. this is the most amazing story in business all we're. if not the decade. because it captures so much craziness in the world of technology. and the geniuses running companies and live in the world, like celebrities where they have 20 million twitter followers. executives who used to run general motors didn't have fans like this. liz: you wouldn't see lee iacocca tweeting out. >> no. it goes their heads and corrupts them. ultimately they were genius nerds and they have fans and want to be cool, and they're making weed jokes and hanging out with celebrity rapper girls, and they get into

trouble. liz: yeah, the sec went after, michael lee, for saying the $420 a share, offer for tesla was due to the marijuana affiliation with 420. what's your take in all of this? >> elon at battle and at war with the short sellers for six or seven years right now and don't think the stock is going to go from 300 to 200 or 250 to 150. they want to see the stock go zero. he comes out with promises and squeezes it higher and higher and higher, all the funding whether secured or not secured, all the debt, all the money they have out to the vendors is based on elon and the talks that we need to somehow redo the board or they need to rein him in, all they're going to do is sign their own death warrant. liz: that's a great point, sorry to interrupt, we're

running out of time. elon musk is why the tesla gets to raise so much bond financing and debt financing. we had howard schultz step down as executive chairman and become chairman emeritus. do we see elon musk become chairman emerit us. >> and gets financing for fans, they prepay for cars and he can use the money as cash. in theory he owes them the car. being the celebrity executive where you have a fan base essentially, helps just like it helps the "star wars" movie. it works to their advantage being a twitter celebrity, but this is when he catches up with the old world. what catches me offguard, the sec is treating him with the same level of heat as the fraudster running the fake blood drip company which is basically a scam. tesla is not a scam. liz: you are talking about

theranos. >> obviously there are issues with the viability of this company, that doesn't mean it's a crooked company. this is a legitimate product. liz: to jonas's point, the debt swamps shareholder value. final point, you got 10 seconds. >> the books exist because of elon's personality. either he's the greatest mind of the generation or the greatest fraud. hopefully it works out for the best. liz: i meant shareholder equity value. you have been great. have a great weekend. we'll be right back. stay right there. people tell me all the time i have the craziest job, the riskiest job. the consequences underwater can escalate quickly. the next thing i know, she swam off with the camera. it's like, hey, thats mine! i want to keep doing what i love.
