President Trump, speaking at a workforce event, took questions about his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, who has been accused of sexual assault.

Trump defended Kavanaugh as "one of the finest people I have ever known."

"Never had even a little blemish," Trump said. "He is somebody very special."

The President suggested that a delay in the vote to confirm Kavanaugh might be OK.

"If it takes a little delay, it will take a little delay," Trump said. "It shouldn't, certainly, be very much."
