The White House is urging GOP donors and supporters to speak out in favor of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, with adviser Kellyanne Conway saying during a conference call that the nominee didn’t use his position to get sexual favors like ex-movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and others who lost their jobs, according to a person on the call.
In addition to Weinstein, Conway also mentioned on the Monday call former CBS Corp. Chairman Les Moonves and former NBC "Today" anchor Matt Lauer.
