Description: Today senators will get a look at the FBI's supplemental background check on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The White House has already weighed in, saying the findings confirm Kavanaugh's denial of charges he sexually assaulted a young woman while in high school. But Democrats argue that the FBI stopped short of its mandate. Tomorrow the full Senate votes on Kavanaugh's nomination. In Chicago, closing arguments get underway in the trial of police officer Jason Van Dyke for the murder of Laquan McDonald. The case rose to national attention after a dash-cam video showed McDonald walking away from Van Dyke at the time of the shooting. McDonald was shot sixteen times.
