testify before the committee. since the moment i first heard about the allegations, i have unequivocally denied it. lawmakers keenly aware their constituents are watching what they say and how they vote. some republicans are being slammed as tone deaf. the senate's most vulnerable republican, dean heller of nevada, defended kavanaugh, referring to the sexual assault allegations as a little hiccup. in south carolina, republican congressman ralph norman is turning the debate into a joke. >> did y'all hear the latest late breaking news from the kavanaugh hearings? ruth bader ginsberg came out that she was groped by abraham lincoln. >> president trump and senate republicans are not backing those calls for a separate fbi investigation. that's very different than what happened when anita hill brought her allegations against clarence thomas back in 1991. president george h.w. bush ordered the fbi to investigate that. that investigation took just three days. so far president trump has

refused that request. mary bruce, abc news, capitol hill. turning now to the russia investigation. we're learning that president trump's former lawyer michael cohen has spoken extensively to special counsel robert mueller's office. sources say he took part in multiple interviews that went on for hours. chuck sivertsen has the details. >> reporter: president trump's former attorney and fixer michael cohen by his side for a decade, at one time saying he would take a bullet for the president. >> i will do anything to protect mr. trump. >> reporter: but abc news has learned mr. cohen is cooperating with special counsel robert mueller, sitting for hours of interviews over the past month. those interviews held in washington and new york focusing on all aspects of mr. trump's dealings with russia, including business deals and those allegations of collusion during the 2016 presidential campaign. some insiders believe this represents a significant legal threat to the president, given cohen's long history of working

with mr. trump. cohen has already pleaded guilty to campaign finance crimes related to paying off women just before the election, telling the court he did so at the direction of donald trump. at the start of the investigation into mr. cohen, the president sounded sympathetic. >> so i just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys, a good man, and it's a disgraceful situation. it's a total witch hunt. >> reporter: but in july, cohen telling abc's george stephanopoulos that his first loyalty was to his family and country, and after he apparently turned on the president, trump's team turning on cohen. >> he's been lying for years. there is nobody that i know that knows him that hasn't warned me that if his back is up against the wall, he'll lie like crazy because he's lied all his life. >> reporter: this latest news about cohen's meetings with the special counsel comes less than former campaign chairman paul manafort pleaded guilty, also agreeing to cooperate with the special counsel. chuck sivertsen, abc news, new york.

the puppies, by the way, they were only 45 days old, so those are some youngins there. this is all part of chile's 208th independence day celebration. >> apparently not breaking any child labor laws with that. >> no. or doggy laws as well. coming up, a brawl inside a restaurant. hair pulling, pinching and just when things cooled down, there was more. we'll show you how this ended. >> come get your folks. what in the world? and the epic mascot fail, hurt with a t-shirt cannon. see how he's doing now. you're watching "world news now."

>> oh, my god. you're right. oh, my gosh. >> it is like hockey season. when police arrived, one of the women jumped in her car and took off, nearly striking an officer on her way out. the saga ended in the woman's driveway with a brief standoff until officers forced her from her car and carried her out kicking and -- >> wow. literally. >> wow. she was not going down without a fight. it took four of them. >> wow. >> wow. impressive. >> well -- >> all right. moving on this morning, two people are under arrest after a shooting near a los angeles high school. >> a student and a school employee were struck when gunfire erupted at a fast food restaurant across the street. the shooting led to the school being put on lockdown, as you can imagine. both victims are expected to survive. the cops aren't sure whether the victims were targeted. police in washington, d.c. have made an arrest in the stabbing death of a 35-year-old woman while she was out jogging.
