The newest member of America’s highest court has taken part in a ceremony with President Donald Trump at the White House. Brett Kavanaugh was sworn-in as United States Supreme Court Justice Saturday shortly after winning Senate approval in a 50 to 48 vote. But now he has taken an oath of service a second time for ceremonial reasons only. The televised event took place just one month before the United States holds mid-term elections. Kavanaugh joined the court after several weeks of heated debate among senators and the U.S. public. A California college professor had accused him of a sexual attack she said took place when they were both teenagers. He strongly denied the accusation, saying he had never acted in such a way toward any woman. A Federal Bureau of Investigation report said its limited investigation ordered by the president found no evidence to support the accusation.
