President Donald Trump on Tuesday expressed concern over what he called “a very scary time for young men in America” who can be accused of sexual misconduct.
Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, is facing allegations of sexual assault and sexual misconduct, which date back to his high school and college years. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations, but his confirmation vote in the Senate is on hold while the FBI conducts a supplementary background investigation.
“It’s a tough thing going on,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn.
“If you can be an exemplary person for 35 years and then somebody comes and say you did this or that, and they give three witnesses and the three witnesses at this point do not corroborate what she was saying,” Trump said. “It’s a very scary situation where you’re guilty until proven innocent.”
