Judge Brett Kavanaugh dodged questions by reporters on Monday, after a second woman accused the Supreme Court nominee of sexual misconduct.

Reporter Jane Mayer, who together with Ronan Farrow broke the story of Deborah Ramirez, the second woman to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Monday that even Kavanaugh's allies say that Ramirez has a reputation as "a very truthful person", potentially spelling trouble for the nominee. Ramirez claims that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a college drinking game, pushing his penis in her face while other classmates told her to "kiss it."

On Monday, Axios reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is resigning, raising alarm about his potential replacement and the ramifications for the Russia probe.

CNN's Laura Jarrett told CNN on Monday that the Department of Justice has a succession plan in place to replace Rod Rosenstein, who is expected to resign or be fired today in the wake of explosive allegations that he discussed not only secretly recording the president to prove that he was unfit for office, but removing him via the 25th Amendment.

In 2016, the party stood by then-nominee Trump, who got caught on tape boasting about grabbing women by the genitals, and went on to back Alabama's Roy Moore, accused of pedophilia, for Senate in 2017. The GOP is currently locked in a tight battle over their Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, accused by three women of sexual assault and misconduct.

In the face of two new allegations of sexual assault by his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump made it clear he stood by his nominee in some impromptu remarks after his appearance at the United Nations Monday. In those remarks, made in the wake of new allegations revealed by The New Yorker and by Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti, the president expressed his disdain for the women who claim Kavanaugh sexually assaulted them in the 1980s.
