joined democrats amending a further investigation of a woman's allegation that pratt cavanaugh -- brett cavanaughassaulted her several years ago. a white house official said yesterday donald trump won't withdraw the nomination. joining us now for more is our senior writer, stephanie baker. is her story credible? stephanie: it is. she told her husband about it during a therapy session six years ago. there are contemporaneous notes from that time. the notes have come out. she has also passed a lie detector test on it. she didn't tell anyone at the time, but from all we can see, this does it ring true. her name came out against her will. it does look credible. francine: is there a real chance that actually derails the confirmation? stephanie: i think it will delay it. we already have two senators saying they think her story should be heard. all it takes is one senator on the senate judiciary committee to delay. whether or not it will mean public hearings of her story is another question. francine: we are 50 days away from midterms, does this impact the midterm election outcome in any way? stephanie:

brett kavanaugh says he is not going anywhere. he takes to prime time to clear his name. good evening, i am -- >>> it is an extraordinary move for a supreme court nominee. cavanaugh defended -- brett kavanaugh defended himself against sexual misconduct claims. >> reporter: he repeatedly insisted the allegations against him are false. he seems to -- truck perhaps she was assaulted by someone in someplace. what i know is that i have never sexually assaulted anyone. >> reporter: as for the new allegation, he says that is also not true. he reports that the new york times even admits that she could not be certain kavanaugh was the one who did it. she released a statement saying i did not observe a specific incident seeing kavanaugh becoming incoherently drunk. >> she does not corroborate the incident as all ditch at all. >> reporter: he admits he drank when he was younger but never participated in anything like the accusations. >> that is not what we are talking about. we are talking about allegations of sexual assault. i never sexually assaulted anyone. i did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereaft

were seventeen and these are people who lack the enormous privileges and benefits that brett kavanaugh enjoyed cavanaugh is the son of a wealthy lobbyist he went to a very prestigious and selective prep school he and he's why he has all the advantages in american society so if we're going to start rethinking how punitive we treat seventeen year olds which i think is definite something we should do it's a society i would not begin with brett kavanaugh why has this become suddenly the biggest story in vienna says america is because the americans would like to hold people to the highest standards particular no events company is going to become a judge of the supreme court or just simply because of the post trump politics. i think it's a little bit of everything but it is a hugely important decision for any president to make brett kavanaugh is only fifty one years old that means that he could be on the court for another forty years that's such an enormously impactful position the future of course of abortion rights in this country are at issue but i also think to your point about the donald trump politics t

. >> sandra: we're learning the latest on judge brett cavanaugh.for meetings. we got word from john roberts that he arrived at the white house near the top of this hour. he is still there for those meetings. released a statement denying what he says are false allegations of sexual assault saying he has never done anything like what the accuser describes to her or anyone. willing to talk to the senate judiciary committee and he is up for a senate vote on thursday. we'll see what happens next with all of this. judge kavanaugh still at the white house. meanwhile comedian bill marr drawing criticism after saying this on his hbo show. >> why do we have to mix football. the fly overers, baseball has two songs now. they sing the national anthem at the beginning of the seventh inning like i forgot what country i'm in in six innings. >> let's bring in carley shimkus. >> to answer his question, why not celebrate this country during a game where two american cities are playing each other in a stadium filled with americans? why not honor heroes who deserve pra

. >> the attorney for brett cavanaugh is talking about things that happened 3 1/2 decades ago. >> it is hard to disprove or even remember exactly what you did 36 years ago and one of the reasons why he provided his calendars in response to the senate judiciary committee's request for the documents so they could see what he was doing that summer. without knowing where the incident happened, the date when it happened, the time period when it happened. it is very hard to disprove that. >> bill: we all go back in time tomorrow together with both of them trying to figure out the facts along the way. but the judgment of the testimony of each will ultimately determine whether this passes or not for him. >> that's exactly right. you know, he has categorically denied it. she has categorically insisted this happened. so it really is he said/she said. no matter what evidence they bring, you mentioned dr. ford had the affidavits of two friends who she meant, one five, one 10 years ago. all they know is what she has told them not what happened. and of course brett kavanaugh cannot prove because h

but also, there was a defining moment where sort of the guard.dropped for brett cavanaugh and he got on theive and it just didn't make sense. >> i think when senator durbin confronted him with why not have an fbi investigation, things started to unravel for him. if you look at his tone and posture after that, he went back and forth with senator feinstein. he looked more than defensive at that point. >> it wasn't a perry mason moment, but if these hearings had a perry mason moment, that was it. and it's not going to change a single vote. the people that were going to vote for cavanaugh before are going to vote for him after. i still don't know who is telling the truth and who is not. nobody does. but that was a moment where you just said it makes no sense that he and every republican are afraid to have an fbi -- they can talk about delay. it's a week. the world knows what that is about. they don't want the fbi to talk to mark judge. >> and we've said that for a week and a half now since we've first heard about this. if you were brett kavanaugh, wouldn't you want a third party to look
