Discussion Megathread: Senate Vote On Brett Kavanaugh Confirmation

Posted: 05 Oct 2018 05:41 AM PDT

With key lawmakers undecided, senators are set to begin voting on whether to advance Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. The votes comes amid allegations of sexual misconduct and intense protests that have divided the nation.

The first floor vote on Kavanaugh, scheduled for 10:30 a.m., comes one day after Republicans and Democrats reviewed the FBI report detailing interviews about allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against the nominee. Republicans on Friday generally expressed vindication from the report; Democrats voiced disappointment, claiming the scope was insufficient and lacking key information and testimony.

We are BuzzFeed News investigative reporters tracking suspicious payments to Trump associates. Ask Us Anything.

I am Anthony Cormier, an investigative reporter from BuzzFeed News. For the past year, my partner, Jason Leopold, and I have been tracking suspicious bank transactions to and from those in President Trump's orbit. We reported on Paul Manafort's financial activity the day before his indictment, investigated unusual transfers at the Russian embassy, discovered cash transactions by a GOP operative, and reported on the financial web linked to an accused Russian agent. More recently, we published two stories on a string of transactions shortly before and after the notorious Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 — which are now part of the wide-ranging Mueller inquiry. Ask us anything!

We'll start answering questions at 2pm ET.
