Trump attorney says Kavanaugh will ‘step up’ in ballot cases

Former President Trump's lawyer Alina Haba said late Thursday that she has confidence in the Supreme Court and believes Justice Brett Kavanaugh will “strengthen” Trump's voting cases in Maine and Colorado.

Haba added that Kavanaugh and the other justices will step up “not because they support Trump, but because they support law and support fairness.”
