Trump administration protected Brett Kavanaugh from full FBI investigation
Inquiry by Sheldon Whitehouse found White House and FBI ‘misled’ about inquiry into supreme court nominee Stephanie Kirchgaessner in Washington Tue 8 Oct 2024 13.05 EDT
The Trump administration protected Brett Kavanaugh from facing a full FBI investigation in the wake of serious allegations that he sexually assaulted two women – once in high school and once in college – during his controversial 2018 Senate confirmation to become a supreme court justice, according to a new report.
An investigation led by the Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse also found that both the Trump White House and the FBI “misled the public and the Senate” about the scope of the investigation it did conduct into the sexual assault allegations by falsely claiming that the FBI had conducted its investigation thoroughly and “by the book”.
Kavanaugh’s confirmation by the Senate seemed to be in doubt after Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University, alleged he had sexually assaulted her while the two were in high school. A classmate at Yale, named Deborah Ramirez, alleged in a report published by the New Yorker that Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party. Kavanaugh denied both allegations.
of all the mind-bogglingly catastrophic damage trump has done, the supreme court is the worst by miles
and they may end up deciding the election. or the next one. or all the elections from now on, until someone fucking fixes it, which they won’t
