The Latest: Senate panel doesn't make 1:30 pm Kavanaugh vote
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh (all times local):1:40 p.m.
The Senate Judiciary Committee was supposed to be voting at 1:30 p.m. Friday on whether to recommend Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, but something is afoot.
Behind-the-scenes negotiations have delayed the committee vote on Kavanaugh's nomination.
It wasn't clear what was being discussed. Republicans believed they had to votes to advance Kavanaugh out of the committee when Sen. Jeff Flake announced his support earlier Friday.
But senators seated in the hearing room are talking among themselves -- and Flake is not seated. Some senators have stepped out of the room.__1:10 p.m.
