Donald Trump joked that he would need to nominate Hillary Clinton for the Supreme Court for the media to investigate her.

The president once again took aim at his 2016 foe as he continued to heap praise on Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Trump mentioned Kavanaugh several times during his speech at a Ted Cruz rally in Houston on Monday night, never once mentioning by name Christine Blasey Ford - who accused the justice of sexually assaulting her when she was 15 years old.

'If you want the fake news to finally investigate Hillary Clinton, we will just have to nominate Hillary Clinton to the United States Supreme Court,' he told the crowd.

'How do you like that idea? Let's see how she does.'

Trump claimed that it would tale 'three to four years of questions' for Hillary to get through the Supreme Court vetting process

'If Judge Kavanaugh had to go through what he went through. He is a fine man. Can you imagine Hillary up there?

'That would take three to four years of questions.'

Trump did not mention the fact that Clinton once delivered 11 hours of testimony during one of the Republican Congress' half-dozen investigations on the 2012 Benghazi attack.

The president instead focused his ire at the 'fake news media', encouraging the crowd as it chanted 'CNN sucks'.

'Don't worry, I don't like them either,' he said.

Just a second later, Trump was boasting at how many members of the media he claims always ignores him was in attendance to cover the rally.

'This is like the Academy Awards, which as gone down the tubes,' he added. 'I think we do much better. Look how many. Look at them.'

'Do your recognize those happy faces back there? I know every one of them and 15 percent of them are great,' he continued. 'Every one of them. I know every one.'

Trump has been Kavanaugh's greatest sympathizer ever since allegations against the Supreme Court Justice emerged in September.

The president went so far as to claim that Ford's allegations were a 'hoax' spearheaded by the Democrats, despite the fact that Ford told her therapist and husband as far back as 2012 about Kavanaugh's alleged assault.

Trump apologized to Kavanaugh 'on behalf of our nation' during the ceremonial swearing-in ceremony at the White House earlier this month and said the justice had been forced to endure 'terrible pain and suffering'.

Christine Blasey Ford testified that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a house party when she was 15 years old. Trump has since called her accusations a Democratic 'hoax'

'Those who step forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation,' Trump added.

'Not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception.'

Clinton hit back the day after the ceremony, saying Trump had turned it into a 'political rally'.

'It further undermined the image and integrity of the court,' Clinton told CNN.

'And that troubles me greatly. It saddens me. Because our judicial system has been viewed as one of the main pillars of our constitutional government.'

'So I don't know how people are going to react to it. I think, given our divides, it will pretty much fall predictably between those who are for and those who are against.'

'But the president's been true to form,' Clinton continued.

'He has insulted, attacked, demeaned women throughout the campaign - really for many years leading up to the campaign. And he's continued to do that inside the White House.'
