The White House is confident Kavanaugh will be confirmed. GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley isn't.

The moment of truth is almost here for Brett Kavanaugh.

On Friday morning, White House spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the administration is "confident" that Kavanaugh will be successfully confirmed to the Supreme Court, per CNN's Deirdre Walsh.

This comes after the FBI completed a supplemental background investigation into Kavanaugh due to multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies.
