U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Democrats' calls for impeaching Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Sunday (September 15) after a new report that alleged sexual misconduct, encouraging Kavanaugh to sue for libel and suggesting the Justice Department could "rescue" him.

At least three Democratic presidential candidates called for Kavanaugh's impeachment after the New York Times report.

In contrast, Senator Amy Klobuchar says there's a step that needs to be taken before impeachment.

The Times essay, drawn from an upcoming book written by the newspaper's reporters, discussed a previously unreported account of Kavanaugh's behavior as a freshman at Yale University that echoed allegations against him by former classmate Deborah Ramirez.

The new account from former classmate Max Stier describes Kavanaugh pushing his private parts into the hand of a female student at a party, according to the Times piece. The report said the classmate notified U.S. senators and the FBI about the incident, but the FBI did not investigate. The FBI did not respond to a request for comment on the report.

"Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for libel, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue," Trump wrote on Twitter.

It was unclear what action the Republican president was advocating the Justice Department take.
