Sen. Flake voted “I” under the condition that they discuss possibly delaying floor vote for the FBI to investigate Dr. Ford’s and other allegations.

Per @studentactivism: Jeff Flake confirms he's not making a motion today, only calling for "a short pause" for an FBI investigation and will make a request to the White House for the investigation.

Now that Kavanaugh confirmation has been voted out of committee, the timing of the floor vote is McConnell's hands – and whether or not the FBI conducts an investigation is in Trump's.

Sen @lisamurkowski told @NBCNews she supports @JeffFlake's 1 week delay so the White House can reopen the FBI background check on Kavanugh. Mitch McConnell does not have the votes without an FBI investigation on Kavanaugh.
