Dems push White House, FBI to reopen Kavanaugh investigation

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats on Tuesday pushed the White House and the FBI to reopen its investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The request for a full FBI investigation comes after Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced a hearing will take place on Monday to discuss the decadesold sexual assault allegation made against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford. Democrats want the hearing and any vote delayed until the FBI re-examines Kavanaugh in light of Ford’s claim.
