Sen. Elizabeth Warren reiterated that she wants Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to be impeached in addition to President Trump.
“I still believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. And like the man who appointed him, Brett Kavanaugh should be impeached,” the Massachusetts Democrat said Friday evening on Twitter.

The demand comes as Warren has also told Democrats to focus their impeachment proceedings narrowly on Trump and Ukraine.
“Right now, I’d like to just see us do the Ukraine issue because it is so clear and it is such a clear violation of law,” she said Friday.
Warren had previously urged for Kavanaugh to be impeached, but the new call follows House Democrats putting their energy into impeachment proceedings against Trump.
Sen. Kamala Harris, a fellow presidential contender with Warren, also renewed the idea of impeaching Kavanaugh in addition to Trump.
“We need to get to the truth about Kavanaugh. And I believe the best path to truth and accountability is through a formal impeachment process,” the California Democrat said in a Friday op-ed.
Harris sent a letter last week to Rep. Jerry Nadler, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, in which she asked him to investigate Kavanaugh.
A handful of Democrats have called for the impeachment of the Supreme Court justice following the release of a controversial book excerpt in which the authors unveiled a new allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.
The justice has denied the allegation, and the purported victim doesn’t remember the event in question, according to friends. The authors of the excerpt failed to originally disclose that information in the story, leading to criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.
