A third woman has come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. In an interview with Fox News, the judge categorically denied ever sexually assaulting anyone. A day of protest has been held across the US in support of the women who have come forward but the White House says the allegations are part of smear campaign to bring down their nominee. Democrats want the vote for Kavanaugh’s election to be delayed so the claims can be fully investigated. The first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, will give evidence to the committee on Thursday
