Trump saved Kavanaugh from FBI investigation: report
A report by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse reveals that the Trump administration shielded Brett Kavanaugh from a comprehensive FBI investigation into sexual assault allegations during his 2018 Supreme Court confirmation.
The inquiry found that both the White House and the FBI misled the public and Senate about the investigation’s thoroughness.
Notably, allegations from Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez were largely ignored, with Kavanaugh only facing a limited supplemental background check that involved minimal interviews.
Despite these serious claims, Kavanaugh was confirmed by a narrow 50-48 vote, with several senators citing the FBI’s findings as justification for their support.
Whitehouse’s six-year investigation highlights critical witness testimonies and evidence that were overlooked.
The report notes the process was manipulated for political gain, leaving many questions unanswered about Kavanaugh’s past.
A lawyer for Ramirez provided lists of suggested witnesses to the FBI, including a list of 20 additional witnesses likely to have relevant information who Ramirez suspected could corroborate her account.
