Georgia’s two Republican U.S. senators both say they will vote in support of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court despite questions raised by decades-old sexual assault allegations.

Senator Johnny Isakson said in a statement Thursday that he would support the judge after a thorough review of testimony from Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, as well as other witness testimony and records presented through the confirmation process.

Isakson’s statement was released hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee received the latest FBI report on Kavanaugh.
