Sen. Whitehouse calls for DOJ probe of FBI's Kavanaugh background check, suggests it was 'fake'
Fox News
Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse on Monday told Attorney General Merrick Garland that he should look into the background investigation the FBI did of Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process, alleging that the probe may have been "fake."
But he also asked the newly minted attorney general to turn his attention to the 2018 allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh, which were never substantiated but turned his confirmation process upside down. "The second matter of concern is what appears to have been a politically-constrained and perhaps fake FBI investigation into alleged misconduct by now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, rather than what Director Wray promised: a background investigation 'consistent with [the FBI’s] long-standing policies, practices, and procedures,'" Whitehouse wrote.More Related News
