KEILAR: This just into CNN. The Senate has just finished voting on a controversial judicial candidate put forth by President Trump. I want to go to Manu Raju, our senior congressional correspondent. He's in the basement of the capital. That tells you there's a lot going on in the capital today. What's up with this judicial candidate put forward?</s>MANU RAJU, CNN SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes. Thomas Farr, he's a district court nominee in North Carolina, come under enormous criticism from Democrats because of his role on voting rights legislation, and they believe he tried to suppress minority voters. But he was just advanced after the Senate broke a Democratic-led filibuster by the narrowest of margins. Vice President Mike Pence had to come in to break a tie, 51-50. That vote for Thomas Farr to sit on this district court has now advanced over the objections of Democrats. And now one Republican voted against the proceeding. That is Jeff Flake, of Arizona, because he had demanded a vote on a bill to protect special counsel, Robert Mueller. That has not happened yet. He voted no. And in a late break, Tim Scott, the lone African-American Senator - Republican Senator, on the vote to advance this nomination, withholding his vote. So a dramatic moment but it looks like President Trump will get another nominee, a controversial one, on the lower court -- Brianna?</s>KEILAR: All right. Manu, thank you. Now, back to our breaking news. CNN is getting an exclusive first look at some of President Trump's written answers to Robert Mueller. Plus, racism, anti-Semitism, white nationalism. Up next, why the state of hate is on the rise across the globe.
