 WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump, who is well known as a teetotaler, proclaimed Monday that he has "never had a beer in my life" and joked that "it is one of my only good traits." 
 
 Trump's comments, which drew laughter from the audience as he delivered remarks touting a new trade deal, came as his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, is being investigated by the FBI for sexual misconduct allegations that took place while he was reportedly drunk in high school and college. 
 
 "I'm not a drinker, I can honestly say I've never had a beer in my life," Trump said in the Rose Garden press briefing. "It’s one of my only good traits." 
 
 Trump joked that if he had been a drinker: "Can you imagine if I had, what a mess I’d be? I'd be the world's worst." 
 
 The president was responding to questions about Kavanaugh's drinking and whether he thinks his nominee lied about how much he drank in school. Trump said he doesn't think Kavanaugh lied. 
 
 "I watched him," Trump said. "I was surprised at how vocal he was about the fact that he likes beer...This is not a man that said that he was perfect with respect to alcohol." 
 
 He continued: "I think the judge has been pretty amazing about describing his situation with alcohol and with beer."

– President Trump again defended his Supreme Court nominee Monday, and he expressed confidence that Brett Kavanaugh would be confirmed to the court after the new FBI investigation is complete. "I don’t want to talk about plan B because I think—I hope he’s going to get approved," Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden, reports CNN. In related comments: The 'trauma': Trump said he felt bad for Kavanaugh. "This is our seventh investigation of a man who has really—you look at his life, until this happened, what a change he's gone through," said Trump, per CNN. "The trauma for a man who has never had any accusations." The investigation: "I want them to do a very comprehensive investigation," Trump said of the FBI. "Whatever that means according to the senators and the Republicans and the Republican majority, I want them to do that." The agency should "interview anybody they want but within reason," he added. "They should interview, but they should be guided by what the senators are looking for." Trump's own non-drinking: Trump said he "was surprised at how vocal (Kavanaugh) was about he fact that he likes beer. ... This is not a man that said that he was perfect with respect to alcohol." Trump also talked about his own teetotalling ways. "I'm not a drinker, I can honestly say I've never had a beer in my entire life," he said, per USA Today. "It’s one of my only good traits. Can you imagine if I had, what a mess I’d be?" An insult: Trump called on ABC's Cecilia Vega for the first question of the news conference, joking that she was "in a state of shock" that he picked her, reports the Washington Post. “I'm not. Thank you, Mr. President," Vega responded. To which Trump said: “That’s OK, I know you’re not thinking. You never do.” (He apparently thought she said, "I'm not thinking, Mr. President.") When Vega said, "I’m sorry?," Trump answered, “No, go ahead.” Watch the video.
