FILE - In this Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2018 file photo, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., left, and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., confer with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., seated, as Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee appeal to Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to delay the confirmation hearing of President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, on Capitol Hill in Washington. On Friday, Oct. 16, 2020, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting that the senators ignored social distancing measures by huddling without face masks during confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett. The photographed situation dates back to 2018, before the coronavirus pandemic began. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
