(Reuters) - President Donald Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court went before a Senate committee on Thursday, with dramatic testimony over almost nine hours from Kavanaugh and from a woman who has accused him of sexually assaulting her when they were high school students in Maryland in 1982.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, which heard from Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, was expected to vote soon on his nomination, possibly as early as Friday.
