The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved Donald Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanugh to the Supreme Court for a final vote.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, Republican senator Jeff Flake demanded a week-long FBI investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Mr Kavanaugh.
Donald Trump later ordered the FBI to start another background investigation into Mr Kavanaugh, who denies the allegations.
This investigation request came after Jeff Flake voted ‘aye’ to moving Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination along, and he was not alone. The vote went 11-10 along party lines.
Here are all of the senators who voted in support of Brett Kavanaugh:
Ben Sasse, Nebraska
Chuck Grassley, Iowa
Jeff Flake, Arizona
John Cornyn, Texas
John Kennedy, Louisiana
Lindsey Graham, South Carolina
Mike Crapo, Idaho
Mike Lee, Utah
Orrin Hatch, Utah
Ted Cruz, Texas
Thom Tillis, North Carolina
