White House press secretary Sarah Sanders repeated this morning that the President is “confident in his selection and his support of Judge Kavanaugh,” while speaking to reporters on the White House driveway following a FOX News interview.

She wouldn’t say if the President has spoken to wavering Republicans or Democrats to shore up votes, but said, “The President has well as a number of White House officials have been engaged throughout the process. We’ve talked to a number of senators and we’ll continue to do so until the vote takes place.”

Asked if Kavanaugh has the votes for confirmation, she said, “We certainly hope so. We feel, as Chairman Grassley said a few minutes ago, we didn’t learn anything new. And based on what we knew before we felt very confident.”

Asked by CNN’s Jeremy Diamond about the dozens of leads that were not investigated by the FBI, Sanders said, “We allowed the FBI to do exactly what they do best, we haven’t micromanaged this process. We accommodated all of the senate’s requests. The President was very clear about that.”
