Trump apologizes to Kavanaugh family for 'pain, suffering'
President Trump speaks at the White House ceremony for Justice Kavanaugh.
Speaking at a swearing-in ceremony for Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the East Room of the White House Monday evening, President Trump apologized to Kavanaugh and his family "on behalf of our nation" for what he called a desperate Democrat-led campaign of "lies and deception" intent on derailing his confirmation.

"You, sir, under historic scrutiny, were proven innocent."
