All right you're watching that live coverage of president property with the polish president there in the instrument the White House talked about the relationship with Poland. NATO of course even he used the potential for trump. In Poland at one point portals and if a proposal paperwork and we talked a little bit about the war in Syria Russia. And some big news there with president weighing in on the on the news with church Kavanagh so much on pack a little drummer checked out today our Justice Department reporter. The fabulous Cokie Roberts are are these news contributors here. Album let's kick off very quickly with Jon Karl who is live from the room John some interest in developments there with the president. I judge Kavanagh he says that he doesn't think the FBI should look into the city further. He says that he's been told by the FBI that they don't do that sort of thing that they don't want to do that kind of thing. But he wasn't directly asked why not order them to do so. He did point out the Kavanagh has been through plus six FBI background checks over the years. What's being asked tears for the FBI to take another look reopen that last background check. And see if there're is anything that they can corroborate these allegations the president apparently is not going to make that order what was striking out DeVon. Is there it. He repeatedly. Said how badly he feels for judge Kavanagh how badly he feels for his wife for his daughters. He he emphasized that over and over again so we didn't. Directly. Answer the question of whether or not he finds these allegations to be credible. But based on the bulk of what he's saying even as he is saying there should be a hearing here. It sure sounds like we have a sense of exactly. We're the president's stance on weekly news. All right Jon Karl thank you so much for that let's bring if accurate Cokie Roberts Cokie. So much speculation about whether this hearing will happen today in Washington scheduled for next Monday. It seems to me that the Republicans are shaping this up to be a do or die moment the woman hasn't committed president trump even says he's willing to see it happen. But Democrats aren't eager. Two. Under advisement design distribute them as long as they can't. This there's an election coming up in case she knows that. And then it and they have hopes and slim hopes but hopes. Of taking the senate and they think they can just keep this bouncing around for awhile that they've added that he shot and a better nominee I think those who. Very far fetched to use but that's where they are. I'm Kerry said Jack and you you cover of the Justice Department president says the FBI doesn't do this I thought that's exactly with the FBI does. Well so the impact he ducks a background investigation. They conducted in this case they provided their findings to the White House which is for the consumer this background investigation they're the ones making the appointment and then. This letter comes in on September 12. Alleging this conduct from when when judge was in peaceful. Conduct going back in the eighties. At this point their background investigation is done. They provided that information the White House and its. Up the White House to decide what they want you like to do at this point it's not a criminal investigation. Into federal crime and it at play here so. They would need a predicate to investigate further they don't have it. Short of the White House requesting it so that when the president says they don't do that. He's right unless he asks them to you in which case they do you do you so it's really up to the White House the ball's in their court. And therein lies a little bit hypocrisy the president says he believes in a process he doesn't want there to be. A hint of doubt. I set about judge Kavanagh so one would imagine that why don't you invoke the FBI to simply knock this down it's not true he he seemed inclined. To believe judge Kavanagh here. What do you make of of the woman Cokie who's come forward not to touch on the spot to death her claims but. So much talk by the president Republicans about the timing of this how and usually. We have to cross. Because they don't Monica after the woman. And they Midland little bit. A tiny bit they have learned the years that going after. A woman who is complaining. Assault. Is not the smartest thing to do it again and spend in these lists anti arm came this me. President's approval rating among women was 28%. So they in deep trouble with men and they so they're trying to be very careful. Not to it has been his presence in forever spying anger and bearing a delicate dance at the end effect is that the that they use this thing to do is to go after the Democrats. And saved the times. The real question is whether the woman comes to us testify and her credibility and that's senator Collins said yesterday she said I want to seen. Her answer these questions and see how that goes because that gives you a sense of whether somebody is really telling the truth and. And how we is that going to be evaluated on the hill today our team has been talking to senators on the committee and otherwise and that seems to be the key question if this woman. Christine please. How do you assess. Her credibility in he said she said situation difficult it's very difficult. But prosecutors are claim they know how to do it and half that committee as prosecutors learned they all talk about I was a prosecutor once and and so we Lucy how their prosecutorial. Skills. And Jack going back to the FBI it seems that the Democrats are trying to his Cokie mentions of stall this potential hearing. To give the chance for the for the FBI to potentially weigh in means the White House to have a change of heart. Will that FBI. Could the FBI jumping out of town. Unlikely if they're they're really trying to avoid being dragged into the middle of this. They will do with what the stakeholder in this case the White House asks of them but but nothing more they're not gonna go out on the road and if it trying to make this case. Even my in this context the president the FBI exactly poppy yeah. And so they they don't want to make it be worse and he can call up Jeff Sessions if you have a favorite at the. But before I let you go on cookies and a transcript have you with us at. Look at your crystal ball you covered the Clarence Thomas hearings of course meeting you know very contentious a lot of her own beat him but what happens. If she doesn't testify what happens if this hearing doesn't go forward. Where do you see this going my excitement and a possible outcomes I've seen in the last something else. Unless somebody. Does compilations and I was at that party or me or I two Patton experienced something like that. I think that the nomination goes. But if we have. Spectacle and it will be asked. Her and him. Testifying honestly think and that's set for Monday at this point although Christine lazy Ford has not yet confirmed so we'll see where that goes a lot of time left. Between now and money but they can so much for watching us here and ABC news live coverage of the president will be right back here. In the briefing room shortly for Jack tactic Cokie Roberts on Devin Dwyer Washington. Let's net.
