the top democrat in the senate, chuck schumer. top democrat on the judiciary committee, dianne feinstein. >> then the democratic leader will make a brief statement. and i'm not going to take any questions. >> nor am i. >> at 9:00 this morning, my staff and i reviewed the fbi's report into sexual assault allegations against brett kavanaugh. let me be clear. i can't talk about the detail because this remains a confidential part of the background report. i hope that changes are made and we'll be able to talk more about what the fbi did later. but what i can say is that the most notable part of this report is what's not in it. as we noted by the white house, the fbi did not interview brett kavanaugh. nor did the fbi interview dr. blasey ford. what we have heard from numerous people over the last few days seeking to provide information to the fbi, we have seen even more press reports of witnesses who wanted to speak with the fbi but were not interviewed. deborah ramirez's lawyer said he was unaware of any corroborating witnesses who we

and as chuck said, that's not how you do this. let's talk about the most routine of applicant investigations. someone is applying to be an fbi agent. you go out and do the background. the candidate has given you the name of all their friends and loved ones who will say great things and be references for them. your job is is to talk to them and at the end say, who else should i talk to? who doesn't like this candidate? that's your job. essentially what sounds like has happened is the white house said talk to the references. talk to the ones that aren't going to tell us the bad things and only do that. for me, this is an institutional moment for the fbi, for director chris wray, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't. damned if you follow the written rules, damned if he doesn't come out and ask for more. damned if he doesn't give a statement, here's how we do backgrounds and damnede if he doesn't call for reform and the client relation and comes out and does that. this is a conundrum i'm sure that has people sequestered on the

chuck bell standing by with details. let's start with melissa mollet and breakin news on the commute. what's going on? >> we have a camera here that keeps going in and out for you this morning. trying to get eyes on an outer loop at telegraph road is where this crash is this morning. you can psy the bsee the bottom beltway is very slow. temple road between branch ave. and saint barnabus road, a truck lost its load. another problem in mclean, right side is blockedes just of the beltway. so we have a spot now. bethesda northbound 270 spur after the beltway, one right lane gets by the paving. you can see southbound for a littledelay. good morning, chuck. >> it's been clearing out overnight and a northwest wind is going to be ready to greet you on your way out the door. so what to wear? grab that insulated wind breaker. may need little help. sunglasses for today as well. be bright and sunny all day long. that's the good news but a certain chill in the air. 43 now in frederick, maryland. 43 in leesburg, rginia. 47 in upper ma

chuck, now it's your turn. >> is it? oh, good. all right. so marathon weekend is the heaviest of the rain is going to be friday night into early saturday. by race da still aot of wet roads, but i think most of the rain will be out of here in time for the marine corps marathon. for the marine corps marathon. ten-daforecast coming righy when nighttime nasal congestion closes in, breathe right strips are designed for the marine corps marathon. ten-daforecast coming righy to simply open your nose right back up. so with breathe right you can breathe better and sleep better. breathe better. sleep better. breathe right. >>> a news 4 i-team investigation reveals a local programhat handles bodies donated to science is suffering some serious problems. scott macfarlane reports that includes the mishandling of remains, causing heartbreak for local families. >> reporter: the state has a the people who have donated their bodies to the state for scientific research. when the news 4 i-team began investigatin the program, we were surprised by what we found.

hello, chuck. >> hello, nicolle. if it's friday, judge kavanaugh is set to become justice kavanaugh. >>> good evening. i am chuck todd here in washington. welcome to "mtp daily." it's been a day of breaking news and broken politics. at this hour, judge kavanaugh has the votes to win confirmation to the supreme court, 51-49 by our counting. you are looking live at the senate which is now running out the clock on debate ahead of tomorrow's confirmation vote sometime saturday afternoon. it was on that floor just a short time ago that republican senator susan collins of maine with kavanaugh's nomination hanging in the balance delivered a lengthy speech, ultimately concluding that she would support his nomination despite the allegations against him. >> in evaluating any given claim of misconduct, we will be ill-served in the long run if we abandon the presumption of innocence and fairness, tempting though it may be. when passions are most inflamed, that fairness is most in jeopardy. i do not believe that these charges can

chuck schumer has bought and paid for this campaign and he is chuck schumer's number one recruit. he spends more when he comes and he will be there to do it. paired when it comes to dealing with healthcare and our rural hospitals, i want patient centered healthcare that is going to focus on you. he wants a government system. i want to secure the border, build the wall, he calls that political theater. there are some differences between us. you've heard a little bit about us and where i come from with my background, i grew up in a fun. i went to college on a 4h scholarship. we have two children, two grandchildren, we worked in williamson county to make it a great community. we served in the senate, led that fight against the state income tax and it was not protesters, it was tennessee people standing up for their right to be state income tax free and the majority agree with that. now i am running for the u.s. senate to take your values. i'm asking you to stand with me and asking for your votes. >> two minutes governor. >> i've come into this and i still have a high school civics vi

what you've seen today, your reaction. >> well, thank you, chuck. personal to our newspaper and our section. jamal khashoggi is one of our columnists and we're so proud of what he wrote for us. and the reaction of the president and the secretary of state today just feels so disappointing. the notion that this is, you know, some kind of rogue operation and we'll just engage in an effort to sweep it under the rug. i was really struck, as i listened to the president, by the echos actually of his dealings with vladimir putin and russia, right, where he says, well, i've asked him about the election interference and he really strongly denies it. he didn't quite go so far as to that he absolutely believed the saudi denials, but you can see the same line of reasoning coming forward. it's just from our point of view, we are not going to accept less than a full answer about what happened to jamal khashoggi and we're not going to accept less than full accountability for whoever is responsible for what may have happened to him. >> kimberly atkins, isn't this th

chuck schumer, he votes 97% of time with them. we need to work together. i have a proven record of doing that in the senate. i will start that exact same breakfast up and work across the aisle and get things accomplished. over 15 bills made it to the house, senate and were passed out of that bipartisan group. i'm proud of that. russ: thank you. senator brown. sen. brown: journalism school, doing a study of work in the senate found that i had more bills passed than all but three other members of the united states senate. which obviously means they are bipartisan legislation. i talked about what i do in ohio bringing women together, bringing college presidents together, bringing people in the community together, students, doing all that. let me talk for a moment about the work in washington about bringing people together. i'm one of the major architects of the farm bill. i am the only ohio -- first ohio senator in 50 years to be on the agriculture committee. i grew up milking cows on our farm. agriculture is such an important part o

fill us in, please. >> sure, chuck. the biggest news out of all of this and the only thing i can tell you with any certainty, today we have a very rare, only second i can recall, public statement from robert mueller's office and on the record with peter carr, his spokesperson attached. he said essentially we became aware through press inquiries that somebody out there was saying they were offered money in return for saying that robert mueller sexually assaulted them or was involved in them with some sort of sexual harassment. apparently there were e-mails that were sent around, chuck, to i anumber of reporters. nobody's been able to find out if any of this is true and at this point, chuck, it just appears it's more misinformation on the internet but the special counsel's office is responding and taking it seriously. >> and it's being turned over to the fbi for investigation. >> that's correct. >> that's what made it some sort of a serious thing. tom winter, busy day in the investigative unit on multiple fronts. i apprec

chuck is back with me, along with reporters. garrett, we just heard dualing speeches, if you will, from first mitch mcconnell, then chuck schumer, schumer calling the hypocrisy of republicans to move this process forward. mitch mcconnell saying, hey, this vote is happening this week. he could not have been more clear about it. i understand you spoke to another key senator in all of this, west virginia democrat, joe manchin. >> reporter: that's right. we heard schumer, the democrats are not intending to move the goalpost any further, this is about this fbi investigation. they stand by that. setting this conversation aside, one week is one week. schumer believes the fbi can do their job. >> just to be clear -- nobody is arguing this should go past friday, it sounds like, republicans nor democrats are saying they want to extend this. everybody seems fine with the friday deadline. >> reporter: as long as the fbi is not straight jacketed as a democrat described it. as long as the fbi is able to do the work they deem necessary, yes. e

chuck n th chuck, in this moment, we will hear from chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell, and then the vote goes down. what happens? >> the quartet. we're trying to figure it out. lisa murkowski, susan collins, jeff flake, joe manchin. based on my own reporting, i think lisa murkowski feels least likely to vote for judge kavanaugh. if you recall, there's the native alaskan issue. it feels like manchin and collins will go together. the one i have a doubt about is jeff flake. i think he's -- i think -- i'm less -- i'm more convinced he votes yes today, but i wouldn't assume a yes today for him would be a yes tomorrow. today, remember, this is just breaking the filibuster. >> this is ending the debate to move on. >> it used to be 60 votes, today it's 50. flake is the kind of guy -- a lot of senators wished they could split the differences back in the day. i vote yes to end debate but no on the piece of legislation or the confirmation. our political parties have never allowed that to be anymore. they punish people for just voting to shut down a filibuster now. i know one is considered the same,

national politics, but i believe you are looking at real chuck schumer, i believe you are looking at real kamala harris, i think you are looking at real richard bloomenthal, they -- i think the veil is gone. these people have not been duped, they are the dupers, they are frauds, and they are hucks teres of the highest ordering and worst most of about every word they are saying about the better america, a america that is does not root itself in free enterprise, and freedom, and liberty, they think that is all sort of nonsense, i suppose. and they would rather you know, put in a socialist system that works so well a in the world. and they want to squander more of the wealth which has been squandered both parties over course of last 60 years. the truth is this president in that job. perfect moment to give republicans party spine, even when it has so many parts of it who are spineless themselves, you see them looking to future instead of k-street for greater guidance. toward the nation's destiny. this is a remarkable moment in history. >> i think without a doubt that a more you know, run

chuck grassley is speaking on the senate floor now.ars on the d.c. circuit considered the second most important federal court in the country. his record there has been extremely impressive because the supreme court is an example adopted a position advanced by judge kavanaugh's opinions no fewer than a dozen times. judge kavanaugh is also a pillar in his community and also in the legal profession. he serves underprivileged communities, coaches girls basketball and is a electorate his church and prepared young lawyers for their careers, a law professor at three prestigious law schools and a mentor to dozens of judicial law clerks. this should have been a respectable and dignified confirmation process. in a previous era this highly qualified nominee would have received unanimous support in the senate. before left wing outside groups and democratic leaders had him in their sights, judge kavanaugh possessed an impeccable reputation and was held in high esteem by the bench and the bar alike. even the american bar association, which the democ

pete, good morning. >> good morning, chuck. well, bowers is now going to face -- robert bowers, the alleged shooter in pittsburgh is going to face 72 counts now. he's been charged both by the federal government and by the state. >> the feds took this over, correct? >> well, they both filed charges. so i think it's not clear who -- where he's going to go on trial first. the federal government was very eager to step in and say this was a hate crime. just as pennsylvania authorities have said. there seems to be very little doubt of that. for three reasons, basically. one, his social media postings. months and months of vile anti-semitic comments, and secondly, the fact that he singled out a synagogue speaks for itself, and thirdly, the police in pittsburgh say that as he was being transported to the hospital, and as he was being treated for his wounds, he e said, all jews must die, because they are committing genocide against my people. >> did he -- who does he refer to as his people? in this case? >> who knows? i mean that's what

i'm chuck todd here in washington. welcome to "mtp daily." we begin tonight with the escalating fallout after the fbi completed its supplemental background investigation into judge brett kavanaugh. this was the scene just moments ago as anti-kavanaugh protesters descended on parts of capitol hill. it appears the capitol police made more than 100 arrests. the first votes, by the way, on kavanaugh's confirmation are expected to begin tomorrow. after reviewing the fbi's latest report, the white house and senate republicans are full steam ahead with his pending confirmation. >> we are fully confident after reviewing this information, senators can be comfortable voting yes. >> none of the allegations have been corroborated by the seventh fbi investigation. not in the new fbi investigation, not anywhere. >> there was no corroboration, no corroboration, again, no corroboration whatsoever. for me, again, no corroboration. not any corroboration. >> democrats, however, are livid, they say that the white house constrained the fbi, rendering its work mea

chuck, do a little profiling here. looking at these packages -- and it's important that they all be opened in the same place, and you don't have different police departments tearing them open so we can glean as much as possible. what kinds of people traditionally have done something like this? >> well, lots of different people, from the mentally ill to, as barrett said, terrorists, and everyone in between. you have to be awfully careful here, brian, as an investigator not to try and fit your facts into any preconceived notions. you have to be open to the possibility that just about anybody can do this. and good agents and good prosecutors and barrett was one of the best, know that you go into an investigation with that open mind. so, as to that officer who remembered seeing something on television and then called the police department, chris wray put out a statement which i think is worth reiterating. if anybody sees something, even if you think it's something insignificant, call. you never know what little piece of in

chuck grassley on the floor now. we'll hear from chuck schumer, majority leader mitch mcconnell and then when had he call the vote, the majority leader has asked all senators to be present and in their seats when this happens. this won't be like we see so many times with senators ducking into the cham baernz ducking out. it speaks to the momentousness of this occasioning to having all 100 senators or i guess rather 99 senators, steve daines of montana is busy at his daughter's wedding back in big psychiatry country today. the 99 voting will all be physically present in the chamber. i can tell you that the gallery here is also packed. there have been folks coming in all day to be part of this. we've had several times where republican speeches have been interrupted by protesters in the gallery. i would not be the least bit surprised to see that happen again. watching from the gallery will be two tosheses for c-christine blasey ford, obviously so central to all this. and now they'll be part of this historic moment, too.

good morning, chuck. another pretty day. >> yes, another open window day for sure onhe ride in to work and school this morning. skies are mostly clear over washington. there are more clouds out to our west and there's a lot of this is going to continue until deep into the middle of next week. the warmest day set back in 2000. for the month we were more than average.ees above five out of the last six october have been warmer than average. 2015 being the outlier. for today in the mid to upper 60s o a wednesday morning. high temperatures later on s?day, how about the low 80 rain chances, pretty low. scan the skies out here. they had a couple of rain drops in the mouains of west virginia as i've been saying all morning. drying up as they come eastbound at the blue ridge. no rain today around the metro area. we get back to sunshine before later on in the afternoon. dr weatherovernight tonight and into tomorrow. then tomorrowrt sg with sunshine, clouds building tomorrow afternoon. there could be a shower or thu

>> chuck, that's a good question, but a tough one to answer. we are dealt cards in the senate judiciary committee that we never anticipated. the fact that would be a letter coming forward from dr. ford, which eventually became public, which led to a hearing, which we had not even planned, all of those things were unforeseen. this was not some the strategy that was laid out. it unfolded this way, we did the best we could under those circumstances. i still believe that we did the right thing in voting against brett kavanaugh for the supreme court. >> i want to move to the issue of the now confirmed dead journalist jamal khashoggi. the saudi government, after 17 days, now confirming that, yes, he died at the hands of some saudi intelligence agents. i've got to put up the changing story from them, though. it's amazing. it took them, for ten days, they were saying things like, we're investigating. they're looking, he left the consulate. that was one of their first explanations, saying, this idea that saudi arabia was responsible. that was baseless a

kavanaugh was in an impossible situation, chuck. it's been ten days with not having any public platform to present his side of the story. the scandals and charges became more extravagant with every passing day. and then when he expresses his outrauj a outrage and outrage felt by the entire republican party, then he's attacked for becoming angry. so, there's no way for him to win that argument, but i think what toomey was saying is reflective of a lot of republicans, which is that as a judge, you can look at his history up to now and he has never been accused of losing his cool before. >> you know, eugene, john harris, a former "washington poster" and current politico guy wrote a fantastic article today. he throws back to 1998 and the clint clintons. clinton's lies in that year of scandal started in january 1998 with finger-wagging claim that he did not have sexual relations with that woman. but clinton's supporters, like kavanaugh's now, by this point were less concerned with the literal truth about his sexual behavior or his statem

he will speak next, but we heard from strong words from chuck schumer.isted, but for prosperity. those are the words of henry clay, mr president. kentucky‘s‘s own. i underscore that the decision united states senators will make today will echo in the history of our nation. the very survival of our constitutional form of government requires an expert and independent judiciary. without fair and impartial courts ofjustice, judiciary. without fair and impartial courts of justice, as alexander hamilton put it, in the federalist papers, all the reservations of that particular rights or privileges would amount to nothing. the courts guard our rights and the senate guards our courts. that, mr president, is why today is such an important day. that is why the vote we take this afternoon, a vote to confirm a new associate justice of these "of the united states, represents one of the most consequential decisions a senator ever makes. the members of this body are duty bound to confirm justices of this print court who are men and women as the highest character and the

thank you, chuck. [applause] >> we are grateful to all of the senators on the judiciary committee who fought so hard for this confirmation. senators lindsay graham, john cornyn, orrin hatch, mike lee, ted cruz, ben sasse, jeff flake, mike crapo, thom tillis and john kennedy. [applause] >> thank you also to rob portman, sitting right here. thank you, rob portman. [applause] >> and finally we are indebted to senator susan collins, for her brave and eloquent speech and her declaration that when passions are most inflamed, fairness is most in jeopardy. how true, how true. [applause] >> brett kavanaugh is a man of outstanding intellect, a brilliant scholar, and his credentials are unsurpassed. a graduate of both yale college and yale law school, he has taught at harvard, yale, and georgetown. when he's not working or with his family, he's giving back to his community. he spent 26 years in public service, and just like justice gorsuch, he clerked for justice kennedy. for the past 12 years, brett was a judge

chuck bell, cold? >> chilly, chilly, chilly. a cold front went through so the 72 daye enjoyed yesterday, yeah, that's all a thing of the past now. temperatures in the 40s for most areas this morning. 46 in fairfax, 42na massas, 49 in prince gorges county. even plenty of 30s on the map p fots of the shenandoah valley. certainly a chilly start. not much of a breeze yet but it will become a veryst by late morning and afternoon. your wakeup weather then, 30s and 40 tet your day started. sun's up at 7: still quite a ways away from now. by 9:00 in the morning a much stiffer northwest breeze today. northwest winds5 15 to miles an hour. unlike 72 yesterday. today melissa mollet 58 for a high temperature. >> that's a lot cooler. brand new problem here, outer loopt telegraph road. all lanes blocked right now. goin to get more info on that and pass it along in the next couple of minutes. in roslyn, gw parkwayey at bridge, one lane getting by. looksst of the beltw pretty good here. you don't have any major issues on the beltway here this mo

>> i think chuck shumer agreed to that, the president. waiting for the investigation to be done and i'll make a decision. >> dana: polling out of west virginia is strong in favor of the president and kavanaugh. but you think, i believe, senator manchin would be safe enough to vote against kavanaugh and still win? >> there's no question about it. manchin is up by 12 points. that full 12 point lead he has over the attorney general there that trump just went in and campaigned for last week is all due to women. so if manchin now turns around and votes for kavanaugh, he will lose the support of women and make that face far more competitive than it is today. that's true for so many democrats in races that are close or not. i think that's what you're looking at. i wouldn't put tester in there. tester's already come out. he has a seven point lead. he's going to vote against kavanaugh. when you look at heitkamp, she could lose. both of them could end up losing if they vote for kavanaugh because women voters are the gasoline and the fuel in this el

chuck was talking about the spritzing in the downtown d.c.ea but more showers up towards hagerstown you can se those are dissipating towards the mason/dixon line heading towards route 15. so we have the chance later on tonight after 6:00 to see showers. then we're dry through the midle part of the week. we have rain late thursday night into friday asnt a cold f pushes through the area. that's where temperatures drop.n right no feeling that bad. temperatures measured at reagan national airport, 51. outside the beltway, temperaturein the 40s. we usually drop during the 7:00 hour so we'll be ine 40s but by noon in the mid-50s. by 2:00 nearing60 degrees. again, the rain moving in with a clipper systemom the west to the east. it will scoot by quickly from 6:00 to 2:00 a.m. temperatur going up. right around 60 tomorrow so we'll slip a bit. 61 tuesday but look at that. ing of temperature is 65. we'll b 70 on halloween. so we're dry, if you have parades this afternoon, you'll be fine but after about 5:00, 6:00, you see rain move in. this is with the
