Three women have publicly alleged Kavanaugh sexually assaulted them to varying degrees while he was in high school and college.

The first of those women, Christine Blasey Ford, and Kavanaugh testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday to discuss her claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party in 1982.

The committee voted Friday afternoon 11-10 to pass Kavanaugh’s nomination on to a Senate-wide vote for confirmation.

Trump called Ford’s testimony “very compelling” and Kavanaugh’s testimony “an incredible moment in the history of our country.”

The comments marked a stark departure from Trump's past comments, in which he called the allegations against Kavanaugh a Democratic-led “con job.”
