ess a big boost. upset weekend. the football shocker overnight in detroit, and just how special that buffalo was. and this morning, a tip of the hat. the growing mystery about this headwear supposedly worn by abraham lincoln himself. and we do say good morning on this monday, everyone. i'm kendis gibson. >> and i'm stephanie ramos in for diane macedo. we begin with the breaking news overnight. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh is trying to fend off new allegations of sexual misconduct. >> this just days before kavanaugh's first accuser, christine blasey ford is set to speak out describing his alleged behavior at a campus party in graphic detail. abc's lana zak has the new tash overnight. lana, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, kendis and stephanie. for days the credibility of dr.

christine blasey ford has been in question and now a second woman is coming forward saying she too wants the fbi to investigate. just after the senate announced the details of christine blasey ford's testimony, a second person announced she had a me too moment with the nominee for supreme court. this woman, deborah ramirez, a former yale university classmate of kavanaugh's says he exposed himself to her at a party 35 years ago, according to "the new yorker." ramirez says her incident happened at a drunken dormitory party. she says she was forced to push >> his body part away from her. when someone steps forward and accuses another person of this kind of sexual assault, it needs to be taken seriously. >> reporter: earlier democrats had been urging chuck grassley to slow down kavanaugh's nomination. together with blasey ford, they asked for additional witnesses at thursday's hearing and an independent investigation. grassley's accused the democrats of playing games, overnight releasing this statement. they are more interested in a political takedown than pursuing

allegations through a bipartisan and professional investigative process. through it all, president trump has maintained that the investigation should stay with the senate. here he is with abc affiliate wtam. >> i want her to have her voice. let her have her voice. let her say what she has to say, let him say what he has to say, and at the end the senators will make a choice. >> reporter: the white house says it stands firmly behind judge kavanaugh who categorically denies both allegations calling it a smear, plain and simple. and kendis and stephanie, this might not be the last of it. senator grassley's office requested evidence from lawyer michael avenatti who claims to represent what would be a third person with allegations against brett kavanaugh, and senator dianne feinstein is calling for his nomination hearing to be immediately postponed. >> she is once again calling for an fbi investigation. lana zak in washington, thank you. as president trump prepares to address the u.n. general

assembly this week, it looks like he is holding off on firing deputy general rod rosenstein, at least for now. he was furious after rosenstein suggested wearing a wire to record trump and even raised the idea of trying to remove trump from office, but sources say the president decided to leave rosenstein in the job after asking aides for advice. we turn now to the political ad with a major twist. it starts like a typical attack ad, criticizing a congressman from arizona's fourth district, but it ends with that big surprise when you find out who is delivering the message. the ad targeting arizona republican paul gosar follows a familiar formula. >> if they care about health care, they care about their children's health care, they would hold him to account. >> reporter: the ad shows voters who want an incumbent voted out. >> paul is not working for his district. >> reporter: but by the end, the stunning reveal. >> my name is tim gosar. >> paul gosar is my brother. >> my brother.

>> reporter: six of his own brothers and sisters attacking the republican and showing support for his opponent. the democrat, david brill. >> i endorse dr. brill. >> dr. brill. >> whole-heartedly support dr. brill for congress. >> i'm dr. david brill and i approve this message. >> reporter: gosar dismissing his siblings as liberal democrats who hate president trump adding, like leftists everywhere, they put political ideology before family. stalin would be proud. and, you can't pick your family. to the six angry democrat gosars, see you at mom and dad's house. >> i thought that was a very tried and soft response. i'll try to be as mannered as possible, but paul's instance here, he hasn't attended any family gathering for quite some time. frankly one of the reasons that i don't engage paul is he doesn't have a lot to offer me, and we have very different opinions on how the world ought

to work. >> so paul gosar's mother tells "the new york times" she fort supports him, and three of his nine siblings did not take part in that commercial. bill cosby learns his fate as a two-day sentencing begins today. the 80-year-old was found guilty of drugging and molesting andrea constand in his home in 2004. state guidelines in pennsylvania call for someone with no prior convictions to receive one to four years in prison, but cosby could face anything from probation to 30 years behind bars. >> it's not unthinkable that the judge could sentence him to jail time in order that he be turned over immediately to correctional officers at that hearing. >> i think it's important that he spends some time behind bars. he has committed the act and been convicted of it. he should do time just like everyone else. >> cosby's defense team and prosecutors are also expected to face off today over whether

cosby should be declared a sexual violent predator. that defamation could be used against cosby in looming defamation lawsuits. firefighters say cooler temperatures overnight should help them make progress, fighting the fast-growing brush fire north of los angeles. it burned more than five square miles forcing evacuations of dozens of homes. windy, dry conditions have triggered fire warnings across much of the west today. another 8,000 homes in south carolina have been told to evacuate because of rising water. all of this after hurricane florence. some rivers have still not crested. more than 20,000 people could be displaced. in the meantime, in parts of north carolina now drying out after the storm. some roads are covered in dead fish after the floodwaters receded. time now for a look at your weather for this monday morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, we're still having problems with dry conditions in the west, elevated fire danger for utah, nevada going into
