MTrump insisted the report was incorrect and tweeted: "In fact, I want them to question anyone they think is appropriate, at their discretion."

Kellyanne Conway, adviser to the president, said the White House was not trying to "interfere" with the investigation and had defended Mr. Kavanaugh, while revealing that she had been a victim of sexual assault.
