Melania Trump praises Kavanaugh, says 'glad accuser had a chance to be heard'

U.S. First Lady Melania Trump praised Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who faces sexual assault allegations, on Saturday, saying she was glad he and his accuser had a chance to be heard.

Kavanaugh, who denies the allegation, is expected to be confirmed by the Senate as a Supreme Court justice this weekend.

Speaking in Cairo at the end of an African tour that included a stop in Egypt, Melania Trump also said that alleged negative comments attributed to her husband President Donald Trump about African nations did not come up during her trip.
