Schumer, Dems calls on Kavanaugh to withdraw after third accusation

Published September 26, 2018 4:45pm ET



Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Wednesday called on Judge Brett Kavanaugh withdraw from consideration as a Supreme Court nominee after a third accuser went public with allegations that Kavanaugh was in the room when she was raped.

“Republicans need to immediately suspend the proceedings related to Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination, and the president must order the FBI to reopen the background check investigation,” Schumer said in a statement. “There are now multiple, corroborated allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, made under the penalty of perjury, all of which deserve a thorough investigation.”
