The story will be in the news another week. The GOP just lost another week before the midterms. Depending on what the investigation finds, there could be an even longer delay with the GOP filling the 9th SCOTUS spot.
Moreover, Trump really had no choice. McConnell doesn't have the votes with the Flake coalition holding out for an investigation. If he did, he would've said "Screw you, we're voting this weekend and finalizing the confirmation by early next week."
