WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An outside lawyer will question President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman accusing him of sexual assault at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week, Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham said on Tuesday.

Graham, a committee member, told reporters that “outside counsel,” would ask questions for the panel’s Republicans but gave no other details.
